Dinner Prep, Tired Smile ❤️

Finding joy when energy runs low! ✨

March 20, 2025

Scripture For Today: "The joy of the Lord is your strength."

Nehemiah 8:10

By five o'clock, your energy tank feels empty.

You chop veggies and check homework while your mind dreams of quiet and rest.

Perhaps you worry that your kids can tell how tired you are when they need your best self.

Just as you push through fatigue,

St. Cuthbert of Lindisfarne walked miles to reach remote villages despite his exhaustion, bringing care to those who needed him most.

Tired love still counts.

Your presence means more than your energy.

Today's Prayer: Evening Strength

When my day has drained me dry,

And my smile feels like a lie,

Give me strength to serve with care,

Show my love though tired I fare.

In these moments, worn and spent,

Help me see the blessings sent,

Let my kids feel love's true mark,

Even as I'm running stark.

Lord who gives when I feel bare,

Fill my cup with joy to share.

Amen.

God's power shines in tired vessels.

Your worn-out love still works wonders.
