Kids sure do bring JOY to those around them. As their mother, sometimes we get busy rolling through the daily routines. Sometimes their screams in the grocery store make you want to drop the full basket of items at the door as you run for the car. Sometimes their terrible-two-moments at home (when no other adult is around to witness this devil-ish behavior!) make you wonder how mothers have been staying sane for centuries. But when they put on that smile, that giggle, that cutesy thing they just learned yesterday.....we get a glimpse of Heaven.
When I say "heaven" what I actually mean is this: a visual picture of God's amazing love for us. As Thanksgiving and Christmas draw near, stop and thank the Lord for giving you a glimpse of heaven. Thank Him for the gift and honor of being a mom. And pray for the women out there who are enduring vicious cycles of fertility treatments or adoption processes. They would give anything for the gift of motherhood.
You are blessed to be a mom.
