Hey all you mommas out there:
YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!
Forget the dirty look you got when you dared to venture into a crowded store with all of your children (again).
YOU ARE BRAVE!
Forget the rude comments people make about how many kids you have.
YOU ARE BLESSED!
Don't let it get to you when other's criticize your parenting decisions (shots or no shots, public, private, or homeschool, this or that and blah blah blah)
YOU ARE YOUR KID'S MOM AND YOU ARE AMAZING!
So, whaddya say we give moms everywhere a break?
And, moms, why don't you give yourself a break, too?
You can't compare yourself with anyone else.
No one else on earth can love your kids like you do.
No one else on earth can do what you do.
Motherhood was God's idea.
And His heart is for you, too.
YOU ARE A MOM AND I THINK YOU'RE JUST GREAT!
A Mother's Prayer
Dear Lord, it's such a hectic day,
With little time to stop and pray,
For Life's been anything but calm,
For Life's been anything but calm,
Since You called me to be a mom -
Running errands, matching socks,
Running errands, matching socks,
Building dreams with matching blocks,
Cooking, cleaning and finding shoes
Cooking, cleaning and finding shoes
And other stuff that children lose,
Fitting lids on bottled bugs,
Fitting lids on bottled bugs,
Wiping tears and giving hugs,
A stack of last week's mail to read -
A stack of last week's mail to read -
So where's the quiet time I need?
Yet, when I steal a moment, Lord,
Yet, when I steal a moment, Lord,
Just at the sink or ironing board,
To ask the blessings of Your grace,
To ask the blessings of Your grace,
i see then, in my small one's face,
That You have blessed me all the while-
And I stoop to kiss... That precious smile.
And I stoop to kiss... That precious smile.
