To say it’s been a while since my last blog post would be an extreme understatement! But as I continue to bask in the warmth of motherhood after my amazing Mother’s Day yesterday, I wanted to reflect on the actual job of motherhood: raising our children.
It’s truly amazing to see the growth and development of our kids! We do our best as mothers to teach and guide our children; to instill values in them and to help them become the people they’re destined to be.
We provide wisdom. We teach them the value of being respectful, honest and kind. We help them to understand the importance of resilience, determination and hard work. We encourage them to do their very best in all things, while also reminding them not to sweat the small stuff.
For mothers, life can be hectic. We’re often so focused on getting our kids where they need to go, and making sure they have what they need (as well as making sure they know the difference between what they actually NEED and what they WANT), that we may forget to simply enjoy the time we spend with them.
All it takes is one glance at a picture from years gone by, when your kids were younger (and you were thinner), to realize how fast time passes! Enjoying the special, as well as the ordinary, everyday moments, is key.
Motherhood is wonderful all of the time (and frustrating some of the time), and it’s a job I feel blessed to have!
Well said ! I nice to have children who make us want to stop and take time to be thankful for them. The joy, the gift , the experience is priceless
Very true! 🙂
