What Makes My Kids Cry Today

By Lizzie @ What Makes My Kid Cry Today

Real Life. Real Laughs. Real Jesus.

There are days when the house is loud—

like, Goldfish crunching in every crevice of the couch kind of loud.

Sticky floors, snack negotiations, someone yelling from the bathroom,

and always, always, at least one cup of milk unaccounted for.

And somehow, in the middle of all that noise…

you feel completely invisible.

You’re the one who remembers the dentist appointment.

The one who finds the lost sock, again.

The one who cuts sandwiches into triangles because rectangles were “too spicy” today.

The one who quietly picks up the puzzle pieces for the 7th time

while no one says thank you.

And it’s not that you want a parade.

But sometimes…

You just want to know that someone sees you in all of this.

🙃 The Hard Truth:

Motherhood is loud.

But it can also be lonely.

💛 The Beautiful Truth:

You are never invisible to God.

He sees the tears behind your smile.

The way you keep going when you want to hide in the pantry.

He sees your unseen sacrifices,

your whispered prayers,

your quiet yes to showing up again today.

“You are the God who sees me.”

— Genesis 16:13

You’re not forgotten.

You’re not unseen.

You are deeply, fully, lovingly known.

Even when the laundry screams louder than your name.

Even when no one says thank you for the 14 snacks.

Even when you’re holding the whole house together with coffee and Jesus and dry shampoo.

🌿 So here’s your permission today:

You can rest.

You can cry.

You can take five sacred minutes with your coffee and sit in the middle of the mess.

Because you’re not alone.

Not even for a second.

Have you ever felt invisible in the middle of motherhood noise?

I’d love to hear your heart today 💛
