I have learned over the years to grasp and enjoy every season of mommyhood. Those new baby years go by too fast and are not replaceable. The toddler years sometimes make you want to pull your hair out but there is such wonder in their eyes as they learn new things. I can just listen to my 2 yr old grandsons voice and the way he says thing all day long, even the thought of him makes me smile. Then they get to the age with the never ending questions, they are so eager to learn. Then the years of growing up, pulling stunts they think a mother has never seen, what a funny thought, don’t they know motherhood is like a union we all belong too, sharing tips and support? Then the “I have arrived years, new knowledge new abilities new strengths both physically and spiritually and often emotionally” life seems like a fast moving train for them and the best we as parents can do is teach them to steer well and where the brake pedal is. By now they should already know how to pray, but if not stop EVERYTHING and teach them. Next thing you know God sends Mr, or Miss Wonderful, and the parents get no sleep, because parents pray like no tomorrow when the possibility of a lifelong relationship is happening. Then the wedding planning, oh what fun! Then grandbabies. And they are just too good to be true. And all that happens about that fast.
so
enjoy
every
moment
do not miss even one second of one thing because you are feeling sorry for yourself, thinking you are the only one who has never missed sleep, or had things hard …
give Thanks in ALL Things.
