Thanks for providing the inspiration. It’s good for me to pause and appreciate. I don’t think I can ever say it enough. :)

I can’t even imagine my little babies being that age. :) I’m having a hard enough time with my brother being 25 and getting married this summer.

Sometimes I think those hard days are there just to remind us how good the good days are. :)

Thanks for the encouragement! I think we all have those days when we cry out to God “I can’t do this!” But He always brings peace, discernment and patience when I ask for it. Glad you stopped by. :)

*Big sigh* I am already preparing myself for when I’m not the most important person in their life. My oldest starts Kindergarten next September and I don’t know how I’m going to cope. The idea of him spending the majority of his day away from me and with people I won’t know makes me so sad. I’m excited for him and everything he will learn – but it’s the beginning of his independence. Thanks for the comment. :)

I think about that all the time! Did Mary ever feel anger or jealousy as a Mother wanting her son just all to herself? I mean I know it’s God, but that’s her son. And then I am reminded that these aren’t really even our children. Only a loan from God entrusted to our care. *Sigh* I suppose we just have to love them as much as we can WHILE we can. Even as brief as it may be.

Love the blog and thanks for stopping by!

It is so hard to treasure the now when some of the now is a smelly diaper. It is a blessing to be a mama, you know it. And I’m sure on the days you don’t feel it…you are still a wonderful mama to your little blessings.

Great post.

Oh is it ever hard! I know. There are days when I think, “I simply cannot do this.” And then there are the days of which you speak, days that you really treasure the blessing of your babies.

Being a full-time mommy is the hardest job you’ll ever do, but so worth it. I can’t imagine not having experienced it for myself, especially now that mine is 23. Everything else can wait. Childhood doesn’t wait. Bless you, Mom.
