"Backpack, Backpack"

Jokingly I posted on Fb and Twitter that " Some days would be much easier if I had Diego's backpack." For those moms who are tortures, I mean blessed to watch Diego or Dora on Nickelodeon can sympathize.

For those who don't watch, Diego and Dora are cousins, who go on some sort of adventure. They have their own cartoons, but they both have a backpack. When ever they get to some sort of obstacle they have the kids yell "BACKPACK". All of a sudden the backpack starts talking and transforms to what ever they need. For instance in this episode Diego gets to a river yells to the backpack and it turns into a boat.

As I was forced to watch, I found myself yelling "backpack" when solicited by Diego, yup I was sucked in. Today was a LONG day and at several points of the day I could have used that darn backpack. As I sit here and ponder my day, I am reminded that although I do not have a backpack I do have a helper.

"Behold, God [is] my helper; The Lord [is] with those who uphold my life."-Psalm 54:4

"But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you." John 14:26

"Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you."- John 16:7

"So we may boldly say: "The LORD [is] my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?"- Hebrews 13:6

Being a stay at home mom has brought on blessing but also challenges. I thank God that I to throughout my day can call on my helper. He may not transform into a broom and sweep the floor, but He will give me the strength to.
