Matthew 5:14

My husband has been working hard and looking very tired for a week. Our son has been clingy yet unsettled for a few days. As a result, I haven't felt like I am very useful to my family. Why would they look so needy if I was providing what they needed? Shouldn't a mother provide the ultimate comfort to her child? Am I asking too much from my husband? I woke up thinking about Matthew 5:14, "You are the Light of the world." Jesus' words came to me to remind me that it is my responsibility to bring my inner light to my everyday life and this light would show me the way through the darkness. My perception was all the difference. Happily my husband woke up looking refreshed this morning and was able to help me comfort our toddler.
