How I keep going

Some days are really hard and can be a struggle to get through. Aches, pains.... fear of giving birth.... going to work... taking care of the entire household from scratch, from the break of dawn to the late summer nights.Everything can add up to an overwhelming challenge.

When people ask me how I do it all, the only thing that I tell them - that I can tell them is that - thinking about people who have it worse off than me, is the only thing that keeps me going. I think of the widows and single mothers, I think of the mothers taking caring of their children with special needs, I think of my the blessings they have, the strength that God has given them and it gives me strength to go on. Challenging as it is.... Allah chose me for this job because I am the best person to do it.

So even though my back hurts, my legs cramp and everything tells me to just go to bed, I still have many chores to take care of.... And I need to look happy and smile through it all... because yes there are others with less... having it much harder but making it through and not complaining.... If not for them, I would have given up a long time ago!
