For me today is celebrating not only my mum, my sister who is a mum, mothers everywhere, but celebrating the fact that I am a mum. I am so thankful for the opportunity to raise these girls. More than that, I am thankful that I get to hang out with them everyday. I love them tons, but I also like them. They make my life better. My life is more interesting, challenging, rewarding and colourful because they are with me.
Having my girls makes me think more often outside of myself. God uses them to carve away the broken bits of my character revealing squeaky clean underneath.
The heavy responsibility of raising them is not lost on me. Sometimes I drown in it, but it is not a burden for me to carry. The weight of it is too great. Mine is only to walk in obedience "Train up a child in the way he should go..." and the promise is God's to keep."...and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6
Rebekah and Roxie, I love being your mum, thank you for helping me to be a better person...
Mum, I am so glad to be your daughter, thank you for your years of work lovingly raising me...
Misha, my sister, I am stoked to see you loving being a mum, you are excellent at it...
Happy Mother's Day, Krista. You are a great 'Mom'. Enjoy every minute of your girls growing up. Too soon they become adults.
ReplyDeleteYou are a blessing, as is your sister. I love you both more than I can express.
