How Much is Enough?


I find myself asking myself so often lately, "Am I giving my kids enough?" Are they getting enough healthy food to eat? Are they getting enough extra curricular opportunities? Enough time with their friends? Enough discipline? Most importantly, enough love? I think the last 2 are the most difficult to balance. With 3 kids, it feels like my days are full of instruction an correction which sometimes leaves very little room for patience and love. My nerves get so burnt out with all the girl drama, fights, and temper tantrums that I find myself at the end of the day wondering if I took the time I should to just love on my kids. Did I really engage them in anything simply to show them how awesome I think they are? I just pray that God equips me and protects them from my imperfections...and I pray that above all they can say one day that they had enough love.
