Friends Ease the Mommyhood Burden

I seriously have the best friends. <3 Makes mommyhood seem manageable. These were just some of the amazing messages my friends sent me on a tough day. They don't mean anything to anyone but me, but I wanted to remember them. <3 I love my friends.

Jenny Flake Rabe Just life. It all seems to slam down at me at once. Nothing major and thats why I worry about sharing my griefs. They are nothing compared to most. But they bring me to my knees every time. I guess that's the point.

James F. Keefer Jr Jenny think about all the accomplishment you have achieved. You can always have a song in your hearts. The song that comes to mind. "There is sunshine in my soul." The scriptures are a key to break those bands of discouragement.

Jen Geigle Johnson Love you sweet Jenny!!! You have helps so so many connect with other writers. You are a force for good clean literature. I’m so proud to call you friend. Sometimes warriors of light are attacked from all sides. You can do this. You are in good company. ❤️

Amy Metzger Gull You have a great smile and a sweetness that is pure. You are a hard worker, genuine, kind and have high goals that you are achieving. You are a great friend, a wife who loves her husband, and a mom who is trying and doing her best. Take heart. You are loved.

Jeff Collyer Jenny, you are a light to others in this world, and an influence for good. I don’t know how deep or dark your discouragement is, but if it helps, I have been on the edge of the abyss more than once. I somehow survived it. You will too.

You are stronger than you believe, and have greater hope than you can possibly imagine. Hold on, Jenny. This too shall pass.

Danny Potter Another reference, "Sometimes in our lives, we all have pain, we need to borrow--But, if we are wise, we know that there's always tomorrow. Lean on me, when you're not strong, and I'll be your friend; I'll help you carry on, for it won't be long 'till I'm gonna need somebody to lean on."

That's what friends are for.

Casey Chamberlain If possible, go down to a food pantry or some other homeless shelter and provide 2-3 hours of service. When we see others that need our help, we start to forget ourselves in their service. It is the Lord's antidote to depression, I believe.

Sarah White Moylan Hang in there and know that you're not alone. I sometimes feel a dark energy pervading my thoughts and mood(and it ain't depression cause I know the difference), especially when I try to do something right and good. The enemy knows our potential, and that's saying something if he's trying this hard!

We can’t measure how big or small they might be. We love you without measure. I love the courage you have to reach out. Some of us suffer in silence. Soak in all the love surrounding you. Make a call to any of us. I love you.

Joel Rees When I'm overwhelmed, I check my priority list, try to figure out which are in the wrong places (with prayer when I remember), and restart myself. If that doesn't get me out, I say a prayer and dump everything but the top one until it's done enough for the day and look at the list again. Sometimes it hurts to drop priorities, but as everyone has said, we have friends and we have a Friend.
