Today was a nice day. Today my kids surprised me with love, flowers, cards, and special gifts. I am very thankful to be a mother. I am thankful that the Lord made it possible for James and I to have kids, and that he gave us these two.
When I find myself tired, frustrated, and wishing my kids would just be kind to one another, I am reminded of the gifts they are. These two bring me so much joy that far outweighs any long day. They were prayed for long before they were born and I know many of the prayers have continued through their lives. My job is to raise them to love and live for Christ and to be kind and loving. This is a job I love, a job I will never leave. I will always be there for them. And I will let them know that. I will be real and honest, loving and kind. Admit when I've made faults or hurt them, say I'm sorry, and be quick to forgive. I always tell Adeline that Andrew learns from her and that he watches her. That he looks up to her. As a mother, my kids learn from me too, they are watching me.
Thank you Lord for making me a mother....I can't imagine my life without Adeline and Andrew.
