Isn't it so true...we can have all of those feelings, of despair, of exasperation, of overwhelmedness, and tiredness, and I'm-sick-of-cooking-dinnerness (oh, is that just me?)...and one look from those sweet faces can help ease all of that. God's design is miraculous. Even on my very hardest days I can (usually!) look at them while they're sleeping and think,"Tomorrow we get a fresh start, and aren't they lovely right now!" :) <br />Beautiful thoughts from a beautiful mama. Someone tells me (a good friend at church) that God made me the mama of my kids for a reason. I thought the same thing as I read this - you were just the right mom for these three special kiddos. :)Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12652499105387319726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4808360407053165584.post-87055746020368513042010-10-11T18:41:43.392-07:002010-10-11T18:41:43.392-07:00And I don't doubt for one second either, that ...And I don't doubt for one second either, that He he didn't know what He was doing when he chose you, no one else but you, to be their mother, to nurture them, to guide them, to love them and to lead them back to Him. He chose and he chose well my dear. He always does.<br /><br />Your love for them and Him inspires me every day.

I love this post. ...Blessing blessing BLESSING!!!!<br /><br />I love this post. I relate so much to the frustration and sadness when you feel you can't meet all you children's needs. <br /><br />There are times when I've asked God, "what do you mean, 'children are a blessing'?- it doesn't feel like it". Then I realise that sometimes the blessing is to do with the patience he is growing in me, the way my children force me to come back to him with my needs and failures, the blessing is the whole messy lot of it - not just the smiles, the lovely moments, the days I feel like a good mum!<br /><br />I loved reading this. What an awesome family full of blessing you have!
