Lesson 6: We Can Do It

            So last week was a rough week. I was going to write about the struggle, and go off about how bad it’s been, but then we had Sunday. It wasn’t necessarily the best day, but it was a reminder that as hard as things get, this doesn’t change – we can do it.

"Though I fall, I will rise again."

Micah 7:8

            Mom spent the entire day outside working on the yard. And no, she wasn’t just gardening or laying in the hammock. To be honest, I have no clue exactly what she did because I didn’t pay attention and also didn’t get out there until she was about halfway done, but I do know that she put in work. Nana and PawPaw were there to help too, and it looked great.

            When I got out there, she taught me how to mow, and I mowed the front and back yards. AND IT WAS AWESOME. I had so much fun doing something that helped Mom and also let me be super OCD.

            I know you’re laughing right now, but the point is – right when we were thinking “how can we do this on our own?” we had a day that showed us we could. It's not that I didn't think we could do a man's work, because we all know that Mom is a super hero and she can do anything (other than cook), it's just that sometimes it's easy to forget.
            Some days, it's much easier to stay in bed all day and let the darkness overwhelm you. But when you actually get outside and appreciate the light, it does wonders.Would we rather you be here to spend the day outside with us? Of course. But if we’re going to have to do it without you, it’s nice to know that we can.
