Needing

I am needed at home, I "had" to write to my Bible study group tonight. It was hard not to be resentful. They do need me, and it's hard to be always needed, isn't it?
I read recently that God gives our children the temperament to get what they need. What a perspective! That whiney clingy child that sometimes gives good cause to want to pull out your hair, or at least open the wine (whine?) bottle? She needs you. YOU. Because no one else can be his mama.
Take a deep breath, mama. Instead of that wine, brew a cuppa, grab his or her favorite story, or three, and sit down on the couch for somma that lovin'--the kind only you can give your child.
