in Christian Life - Post Comment
Today was a good day for connecting with my kids. I realized how important in daily life it is for me to truly connect with them in enjoying the things they enjoy. Today was Mother's Day and often on Mother's Day we're made to feel that we need to be pampered and need to have this day for ourselves. Instead of doing that, I decided that today I would take time to enjoy being a mom. What is Mother's Day for if it isn't to enjoy the calling we have as mom's!
Instead of wanting time for myself and for peace and quiet, I enjoyed the little things with my kids. I enjoyed snuggling with my 2yo on the floor and reading a book, watching my dd fly up and down the road on her new bike, kissing and tickling my 8mo old baby and listening to her belly laughs and giggles... I took time to look into their faces and imagine the people they would be and see their potential. What unique creations they each are!
Instead of being selfish today, I enjoyed my calling as a mom. Instead of seeking gifts, I enjoyed the blessed gifts I've already been given. May we truly enjoy and love and connect with our kids on a daily basis!
Psalm 127:3 Behold, children are a gift of the LORD, The fruit of the womb is a reward.
I soooo enjoyed my children today... and I realized, why don't I do this more often? Why don't I just dwell in the love and happiness I have with them? God called me to be a mother, and while there are other things I have to do, I need to realize that they are my priority!!! Teaching them, training them, loving them, and enjoying them!!
Happy Mother's Day!
Blessings,
Chas
