Happy Mother's Day Giveaway

SchoolinRhome is offering up a great Mother's Day giveaway.  Just leave her a comment and a link back to your site.  In your comment be sure to let her know something about your children and how blessed you are to be a mother.

I have been blessed with 5 beautiful daughters, (another one in heaven) and a step-daughter.  It is amazing to think that when we got married, I only wanted one child.  I listened so strongly to Satan's lies that children were a curse and a hindrance to my selfish desires, that I failed to see my real purpose in life.  I was so intent on listening to everyone else's goals for my life, (ie. solid education and big career), that I lost myself.  It was here that God stepped into my life.  I'm ever so thankful that God turned my heart around and showed me that my focus was to be on my family; my husband as his help meet, and my children as a homemaker, mother and spiritual guide.

Without God doing so, I would never have received the abundant blessings that I receive each and everyday!

My Little Woman is almost grown and will be getting married one day.  She is my right hand, left leg, and the right side of my brain most days.  She has grown into such a mature, lovely, young woman.  It's amazing to look at her journey with Christ.  She loves God, her family and is so well grounded in her faith.  I don't know too many teenage girls today that would give up time with friends to babysit her sisters, take them to the park, babysit other children for free, or give of her time to cook a meal for a family.   

My Juggler is already 10.  Just the other day she was twirling my hair and watching telletubbies!  She is strong willed and high strung just like her mother!  But then in a flash she is so loving and kind to her sisters.  She loves to read and she has an imagination that never ends.

My Rubber is a "Daddy's girl."  She needs her daddy with a passion.  When he is not here, it's like a piece of her is missing.  She's just beginning to write her letters and learn to read.  It is amazing to watch her learn.  She is my "little mother" and helps out immensely with her younger sisters.  She is also my most sensitvie child and repents immediately upon doing something wrong.

My Doodler loves any medium to doodle with and if we catch her in time it is on paper, but sometimes it's in the form of lipstick kisses along a hallway wall.  She is so independent and I often find her playing alone, instead of with her sisters.  She does this little skipping motion whenever she walks and she loves to turn the music on the keyboard and do her "ballet moves" as she calls them, even though she isn't in ballet.

My Little Bear is just learning to crawl and she has figured out how to put everything into her mouth.  She loves to reach up and pull my hair while she nurses.  I can't wait to see how her personality unfolds over the years.

So, you see, I am so full of blessings.  I still pray that the Lord will bless us with more children because:

Psalm 127:3 - 5

Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.    As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.    Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
