What Makes My Kids Cry Today

By Lizzie @ What Makes My Kid Cry Today

Real Life. Real Laughs. Real Jesus.

— Psalm 127:3 Devotional

📖 “Children are a heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.” — Psalm 127:3 (KJV)

📝 Reflection

They screamed over who got the “blue bowl.”

They spilled their juice (twice).

They turned clean laundry into a trampoline.

And somewhere between “Can I have a snack?” and “He looked at me funny!”—I forgot.

I forgot they were blessings.

But Psalm 127:3 pulls me back:

“Children are a heritage of the Lord.”

Not a burden. Not a checklist. Not a never-ending noise machine.

A heritage. A reward.

God didn’t give me my children by accident. He entrusted me with His handiwork—even when it’s sticky and loud and full of Lego landmines.

The chaos doesn’t cancel the blessing.

It often is the blessing—just in a messy, growing, loud-laughing, love-testing disguise.

🙏 Prayer

Lord,

In the middle of the mess and the noise, help me see my children with Your eyes.

Not as interruptions, but as Your rewards.

Help me honor this gift, even when I’m tired.

Even when I feel like I’m failing.

Today, remind me: this chaos is sacred.

And this home is holy ground.

Amen.
