Just when you think you've got this wife and motherhood thing down . . .

• Your toddler expresses his inner Picasso on your freshly painted walls . . . In permanent marker.
• Your 14-year-old demonstrates her newly acquired modeling skills . . . via every social network known to man.
• Your husband pulls up in a new car that you can't afford . . . and only has two seats.

Lord, have mercy. What are they thinking?

While motherhood is often a hysterical ride of pure joy, it can also hold some of the most mind-numbing, heartbreaking, and sacrificial moments of your life. In Lord, Have Mercy, popular author Ellen Miller writes to moms who could use a good laugh (and sometimes a good cry) as they live through the trials and triumphs of parenting in the 21st century. All-too-real, always honest, and often hilarious, each devotional is filled with personal stories to remind you that God is with you in both the big and small moments of motherhood-especially when you're on your last nerve!
