one
two I consider myself infinitely blessed and there is no way that this blog could possibly contain a listing of all the ways in which I have been/am blessed. That said, these two are at the top of my list and rightfully so. Before becoming a Momma I always thought that there were so many things I'd teach my children. After becoming a Momma I quickly realized that there were so many things I had yet to learn.
These two have already taught me quite a lot about patience, understanding, kindness, priorities, gentleness, joy, faithfulness and love. Did I mention patience? All of this and still so much left to learn. I am an avid student who (on most days) eagerly anticipates the lesson that these two have in store.
I am also filled with thanksgiving that the great Creator chose me to be the Momma of these two amazing little girls and entrusted them to my care. And awestruck that He knew them (and each and every one of us) before they were even a twinkle in their Daddy's eye. "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you..." Jeremiah 1:5
And so, on this Mother's Day I give thanks for my many blessings, especially these two and the qualities mentioned above that they have taught me so much about. In honor of said qualities (one in particular), when I opened the Girl's Happy Meal this afternoon to check out the toy (while still waiting at the counter for the rest of the order) and discovered that it was a 5-song Kidz Bop cd, instead of stealthily stashing it away in my purse and waiting to give it to her until we got home, I gave it to her as soon as I got back to the table where her, Daddy and Baby Sister were waiting. I didn't just give it to her, I ceremoniously presented it to her, even though I knew that we had at least a good 2 1/2 hours of driving ahead of us before we would be home. How is that for patience?! I can't say that J was all too thrilled about the prospect but he was a good sport about it, even turning up the volume on several different occasions when the Girl complained of not being able to hear "her music."

That was a joy to read! Those words remind me of how I always want to feel, and sometimes do! Your way of mothering with such a mellow approach really inspires me to stop and smell the macaroni and cheese;)
