Ever have a day when...

• you oversleep and your kids undersleep
• your tea spills in the car on the way to work
• you forget your lunch
• there are so many interruptions that you don't complete any one task fully
• you cry because you feel like failure
• you just need a friend who answers whenever you call
• your heart aches for a friend's loss
• you eat too much candy and still want more
• you sit paralyzed with too much to do
• you want your mom nearby and she's not
• your kid wouldn't eat the dinner you made and you forced yourself to eat it too
• one kid or the other is crying from the moment you get home till they're finally asleep
• you can't bear to look in the kitchen
• you just want to crawl in bed and start over tomorrow?

Maybe that's why God gave us nights and days.  To experience a taste of grace, of daily do-overs, His mercies new for every morning that He gives us to wake up and try again.
