There was a time when I thought I would never have an opportunity to be a mother. And now that I am one, four times over, I cannot stop being amazed.
After becoming a mother the restlessness inside me disappeared. I was finally content. I was finally at peace. I guess I had finally found my path. And I was happy.
My children force me to be a better person. To try harder and to finally release my childhood pain, regrets and issues. I’ve found the blessing from the less than perfect aspects of my childhood—-and that is that I can try to do better. My children don’t have to have the same childhood I did. I can learn from my parents’ mistakes.
I enjoy my children. Truly enjoy them. Homeschooling them is just another blessing and an opportunity to get to know them better each day. I know I’m baised, but I think they are pretty neat kids! Isn’t that how every parent should feel about the children they are raising?
My children make me:
laugh
cry
tired
hopeful
worry
amazed
wonder
Think
In short, my children make my life full.
They are a blessing and a gift.
And I am so grateful.

Amen. What a wonderful post and a beautiful encouragement to other moms. Thank you!
Really great post! Isn't it funny how we think that we're raising the kids and then to see how much kids can change us?
what a sweet post! love it!
yes, yes and yes.
Grateful to meet you today. Popped over from Kim's site. Oh sweet one, your joy for being a mommy splashed my day. I hope you don't mind if I visit a bit and get blessed even more.
Hugs from this mommy,
Sarah Dawn
And your kids have a great mom!
It honestly makes me wish I was a mother. Actually, not a “mother”… just a parent. It makes me wish I was a parent.
Eventually, it'll happen… I hope.
