He Hears

I am in the valley of Motherhood Monotony. I say the same things over and over and over. I make the same requests and the same demands and try to be consistent with the same standards. Get the picture? I often wonder if anything is seeping into the four hearts and brains that have been entrusted to me for such a very short time. At times I am discouraged as I cannot see the big picture and feel that "in one ear and out the other" is my story. I got just a glimpse today of something taken to heart. Joshua held the door open for another student at the middle school. That boy is listening.
