Medicine

Today I was a grump. I didn't wake up that way, but I started off missing my prayer time and then one thing led to another and by 9am I was a grumpy momma! Thankfully it was a sunny day and my friend MeeSook invited us to accompany her and her children to the park. Needless to say I jumped at the chance to get out of the house, and my children were glad to go too! As I pushed one on the swings, helped one down the "fire pole", admired a grand collection of sticks, and blew bubbles for all... I realized the grumpies had floated away along with the bubbles. My children's smiles, giggles, and silly antics were good medicine. Tonight as I tucked in my oldest son, Isaiah, I apologized for snapping at him today. He said "That's ok Mommy, I forgive you. Come up here." So I climbed up onto the top bunk with him. As I snuggled down with him he rubbed my back for a few minutes finished with a kiss on my cheek and asked: "There! Don't you feel better now?" Yes, sweet boy, I feel much better. Thank you!

A happy heart makes the face cheerful... A cheerful look brings joy to the heart...
