How I wish I woke up perfect for you today. If I had, the laundry would always be done, folded and put a way, no more piles spilling over onto the floor. If I had, the dishes would always be done, dried and put away, never left sitting in the sink or counters. If I had woke up perfect today all the floors would be swept, moped and shinning. The beds would be made and the bedrooms clean. If I had woken up perfect today, I would be a better parent and our children would be taken care of just as they should, groomed, fed, smiling and happy. I would be a better wife, always putting my husbands needs above my own. If I had woken up perfect today, I would not be selfish. I wish the perfect switch had gone off in my head the moment my eyes opened and all my flaws would have vanished. We would have a perfect happy home and perfect happy family. I would be more happy, more loved, and there would never be any fighting.
But Today I did not wake up perfect, So God I am asking you to PLEASE help me in all my failings. Help me to be a better housekeeper, better wife, better mother, better friend. Help me to have the drive to do the things I know I should be doing. Help me not to get distracted in what I know I should be doing for my family. Put that love in me so I will want to do these things with the right attitude. I know I will never be perfect until you are finished with me, so I give it all over to you to work in me.
This is a beautiful prayer--I need to make it mine, as well! ~Kim
