I found these quotes from Charles Schulz (you know, the creator of Charlie Brown)
- That's the secret to life... replace one worry with another.
- I think I've discovered the secret of life - you just hang around until you get used to it.
His secrets to life are the secrets to parenthood. The moment you quit worrying if your baby is late in learning to crawl, you start worrying he's late in learning to walk, talk, etc... The moment you've got one thing figured out you've got something else to learn. And you just have to hang around long enough to realize its always some new worry and that's how it is, its nothing to worry about that there's always something to worry about. Did that make sense?
My friend reminded me me one day - "Don't borrow trouble." How true. I'm worried about Archer going to school and all the bad things that could happen. But its 2 months away still, and maybe none of the bad things I'm thinking about will happen. He'll probably love it. So I need to quit worrying about something so far in the future and think about what I can be doing for my kids today to prepare them for that future.
Don’t worry about anything, instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.
~ Philippians 4:6
And oh what He has done for us! A wonderful husband, two beautiful children, and He's provided for us everything we need. Thank you Lord!
