I had 3 impatient days. Impatience that was transmitted to the kids.
I was truly impatient with the whole family! I realised today, that all this is stemming from a simple reason: I want Christmas to be ready now so I can move on to the next thing in my life.
It saddened me when I saw what was happening and today while still impatient I managed to keep it low and enjoy some quality time with family.
Yes I am excited to have my children's birthday and give them the presents that have been in the closet for nearly a month now. I am excited to have my new home schooling corner set up. I am excited to continue the work I had to stop due to Christmas holidays from various people and I am excited to add more to my work in breastfeeding.
But these 12 days of Christmas are 12 days of reflection and I should use them wisely.
You have made known to me the paths of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence. Acts 2:28
