3 a.m. – a Dig Deep day
Just after 3 a.m., I glanced at the white board on my way to the laundry room.
I read this quote I had written yesterday.
While laundering Truman’s blankets and clothes soiled with barf,
I tried really hard to feel grateful for something.
I was grateful that I wasn’t cleaning things up alone… that Jimmy was along-side me.
I was grateful for hot water, soap, and a washing machine.
I was grateful that we have a steam vac for the carpet.
I was grateful that we didn’t have more kids barfing.
I was grateful that barfs don’t happen often.
And a few minutes later, I was grateful to be back in bed and able to fall asleep quickly.
All but Eliza woke for the day by 6:30.
I knew it was going to be a ‘dig deep’ day for me.
I was having a hard time being kind or patient.
So this morning I’ve been thinking about how I can DIG DEEP.
This is my all-time favorite quote about this principle of the gospel…
having a reservoir of faith to call upon when things get hard.
Today – is only a dig deep day.
I know other times of life will require digging very, very deep.
I’m grateful for strength from the Lord.
I love this! Thank you, Heather.
I have the best dessert called dig deep. I think you need to make it and eat it on your dig deep days.
It’s like trifle (?) is that right?
bake a chocolate cake, two chocolate puddings, crunch up about 8 skor bars and use one tub of cool whip. just cut the cake into cubes and layer everything in a glass bowl. Then, when you’re ready to serve– don’t forget to dig deep! It’s good. So is life!
