Humility at 4 am

I've been reflecting on my controlling nature over the past day. I'm pretty sure God is aware. That, and children are His way of making us humble. I gave up control for part of the night last night. The part where I was scrubbing puke off of the cream color carpet. Did I mention we had a pizza celebration last night? And as I sat there, scrubbing, I had to smile. I get it. It isn't about me. It is about me serving them. That is how God plans to make me more perfect. So I scrub, I do laundry, I get drinks (well, not drinks, more like liquid swishes), I do more laundry, I get the bucket. And I pray for the grace to serve well.

PS: Does anyone have any carpet tricks?
