Each meditation in this book for expectant mothers is short and gritty and offers one suggestion for the reader's day. The book is an honest companion, full of comfort and delight.
You love your kids and you're not a grouch. But you do value order and like some sense of control over your time and your environment. Author Sandra Drescher-Lehman has been a parent long enough to voice the utter exhaustion that lies beyond the glow of cherubic infants and charming toddlers. For every frustrating moment she offers a brief meditation that will ground you in God's promises and the wisdom found in His word. Far from the trite, sugar-coated, cliché readings that leave you wondering why you're the only mom with issues, these pages are full of brutal honesty about the struggles of parenting and real wisdom for muddling through, finding joy, and embracing who God has created us to be—as mothers and as individuals. With authentic anecdotes that will leave you chuckling or nodding your head knowingly, scriptures that hit home, and brief prayers that are simple and sincere, this book will be a welcome companion for any busy mom. Drescher-Lehman offers a spot of peace, a redefining angle on the disturbance at hand, a pause to steady the rumpus. Moms will find renewed energy from these short, daily meditations. Drescher-Lehman stands right beside you, offering a sympathetic anecdote and sharing just the scripture you need to hear. She's an adult friend, but she only stays a minute!
How does a new mom face the wonder and the wear that a baby brings? What happens to the woman she was? Is it normal to laugh and cry simultaneously? Sandra Drescher-Lehman, in her disarmingly forthright way, gives language to the eternally long hours of being with babies, the holy moments that change exhaustion to exhilaration, the private fears, that sudden gratitude for one’s own mother. Drescher-Lehman’s own hands and heart are deep in this subject. She is a writer and mom to two preschoolers. Her voice is gritty, yet grateful. Her moods move through the range that all mothers know. She brings comfort. She lends identification to this most basic, yet most personal, experience. Each meditation is brief. Each offers a short Scripture passage and prayer and then suggests an idea or exercise that a preoccupied mom can carry throughout her day. With a beautiful layout, updated hardcover design, and a ribbon marker, this makes a perfect gift for expectant and new mothers.

You love your kids and you're not a grouch. But you do value order and you like some sense of control over your time and your environment. Author Sandra Drescher-Lehman has been a parent long enough to voice the utter exhaustion that lies beyond the glow of cherubic infants and charming toddlers. She hates whining and houses that dissolve into chaos. She gets undone by pre-dinner tensions and bickering siblings. She's been withered by the temptation to list all she's accomplished on a day spent at home with her kids. She's caught herself drawing comparisons with the tidy, artsy mom down the street. But for all those moments, including the time she looked at her kids and wistfully imagined their parents coming to pick them up and spirit them away, she furnishes a brief meditation. Drescher-Lehman offers a spot of peace, a re-defining angle on the disturbance at hand, a pause to steady the rumpus. Moms, dads, and single parents will find renewed energy from these short, daily meditations. Sandra Drescher-Lehman stands right beside you. She's an adult friend, but she only stays a minute! Drescher-Lehman is also author of the two very popular meditation books, Meditations for New Moms and Meditations for Moms-To-Be. (Her meditation books have sold more than 300,000 copies.) Meditations for Weary Parents has the same gritty voice, the same appealing format.
