Never Ending Fears

Sometimes I think the fear will end. The all consuming worry I have as a mother will finally vanish and I will have true peace in the health and happiness of my children. I dream I will be fully satsified with the knowledge that everything is right for my children, their health, their happiness, their well being. And then life gives you a blow of reality. But what do you do? Become bitter or better? Trials strengthen us. Trials are tiring none the less. Sometimes I just want them to stop. I found a good quote from Paul Cardall's website that is summing up the good that I can take away from what I am feeling. What am I learning from my heartache as a mother? What can I take from this? What is God trying to tell me?

"Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb.”

-Winston Churchill
