I cannot begin to express how blessed I feel to me called “Mom” by two wonderful children.
They brighten my days with their laughter, their smiles, and their questions that leave me speechless. I am still in awe that God, in all His glory, entrusted me with these two precious human beings. I am honored to be able to teach them in His ways each and every day.
For me, MOM is more than a three letter word, it is my job title. I take it very seriously. However, wanted to share a few “not so serious” photos of things that I have learned from my children.
1. Life should be a lot more “fancy” sometimes.
2. It is OKAY to really enjoy a bowl of ice cream.
3. We all need someone to hold our hand now and then and to offer a little encouragement.
4. Sometimes, we are not the only ones pulled in a million different directions.
5. Often, we don’t really enjoy the beauty of something, until we dive right in (clothes and all).
6. Everything is so much easier if we all lend a helping hand.
7. When trying to take a picture at night, make sure the strobe flash is not on.
8. They are proud of you no matter what place you come in (as long as they can wear your medal).
9. Napkins, plates, and hand sanitizer are over-rated.
10. Good friends are important and should be treasured.
11. Your family loves unconditionally.
12. That LOVE is all around us. Take time to show it, embrace it, and to let others give it back. This might even be in the form of a peanut butter kiss on freshly ironed clothes.
So today, I sit and sigh as I look at the laundry, the mud on steps, the toys scattered about, the half-eaten Pop Tart on the table and just let my heart smile. I AM A BLESSED MOMMA!
