[6yo's who light up at being the "shark"; excitement over new uniform colors; sunsets that overwhelm the world with the reality of Him]
...my detailed self make mountains out of molehills
[really? I have to get that paper over to that place right this instant? will school planning get done by worrying about when I will get it done?]
...my kids miss the people, the purpose
[my attitude is reflected in them; do they see stress or joy? do they understand why we are putting others before ourselves?]
...me forget:
Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.
For I am the LORD your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior;
I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.
For I am the LORD your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior;

God has used those verses to give me great comfort in the last months.
I get this picture of myself standing in a flood with the water up to just under my nose...but He keeps it from rising any farther. Praise Him!
