All week I have been wanting to write something. Something that would explain all that I have learned from being a mother. But there just isn't words. The more I learn the more I realize I really know so little. So I will just continue to pondering things in my heart and maybe someday I will have something profound to say that will show just how much being a mother has changed me.
I am so grateful for a Heavenly Father who is forever forgiving me of my pride and ignorance when I think that I know what is best in many situations. But then he lovingly reminds that he is in charge and things will not always go according to "my" plans.
I am also grateful that children come to us very forgiving and loving. I am growing and learning right along with them. So hopefully by the time they are older and can remember things I will be a little better at all of this parenting stuff. :)
I am so grateful for the beauty that women bring to the world. Let us all try and protect our sacred role just a little bit more. Less immodesty, more purity. Less gossip, more love. Less comparison, more forgiveness. This world needs more beauty.
Today I have had a different attitude towards Mothers Day. Instead of insisting that I do nothing I have just tried to enjoy the little things with my husband and children. Changing diapers, giving baths, and cuddling with a sick little girl (Adalyn came home from church with a fever). Although tomorrow I will probably want a break :)
I love my family. I love my mothers (all 3 of them), I love my grandmothers, I love my sisters, I love my daughter.
Happy Mother's Day!
