Being a Mom has been the greatest blessing of my life.
It has also been the greatest challenge.
In the day to day, I sometimes forget how blessed I am.
I get caught up in the mundane, the routine.
The tantrums sometimes outshine the sweet little moments.
The fear of the unknown takes over the present joys.
How will I care for THREE children TWO AND UNDER?
How will I ever have time alone?
When will I shower?
How will we manage?
I forget about:
Judah's sweet smile & big blue eyes.
The feel of his small hand in mine.
Our dreams of a big family coming true.
The gentle bops and bump from two babies in my belly.
I AM BLESSED.
Even when life is difficult, the blessings remain.
I pray that I can hold on to this knowledge in the months ahead.
I pray that as things get more complicated and difficult the blessings will be more apparent.
I pray that I would be satisfied with the life, the blessings, the challenges of this life.
I pray these same things for you.
I want to end with a song that I have been listening to over and over again lately by Stephen Kellogg- "Satisfied Man."
"IF HEAVEN AND FAMILY AND CHILDREN ARE WHAT'S LEFT OF THE RACE THAT I RAN, THEN I'LL QUITELY SLIP TO THE SLUMBERING PEACE OF THE SLEEP OF A SATISFIED MAN..."
