Overwhelmed

"When I am feeling overwhelmed with the meals to be cooked and clothes to be washed, I take comfort in knowing that when we do for others what they cannot do for themselves, we become more Christlike.  Young children need a great deal of temporal care.  When we recognize that nurturing our children is a spiritual endeavor, finding joy in our everyday labors becomes easier."

--Miranda H. Lotz

Please help me find joy in caring for a baby that cries......a lot.

Bring her over here and we can hold babies together. That might be more fun! Good luck. It doesn't help now, but she'll be tiny for so short a time. I know Ruby was fussy, but I hardly remember it now.
