When I was growing up the one thing I always wanted to do was to get married and have a family. Life goes by so quickly that before I knew it I was married and together Kevin and I have 2 wonderful children! I guess all that to say...when you are a mom you never know when at 1AM you will be cleaning up throw-up or at 2:30 you are tucking your little princess in from a bad dream or at 4:30AM taking a temperature to find out that you have a sick little boy on your hand or at 4:45 when you are cleaning up more throw-up from the Tylenol that he can't keep down.
That was my night last night and as I sit here this evening I am thankful that I am a mommy. I have two beautiful and healthy (for the most part) children. This morning when I rolled myself out of bed I will honestly say that I didn't want to go to church...only because I was exhausted and knew I would have a hard time staying awake. I was on the schedule to play the piano so I knew that it was my responsibility to be there. My goodness am I glad I went. Our Pastor (whom I love) preached a wonderful service.
The title of his message was "It's Time to Grow Up" and he preached from Ephesians 4:11-15. A point that he made this morning that has stuck with me all day...
**Is my character as a believer meek, gentle, kind or humble? This came to my mind...do I have a gentle spirit at home towards my kids when I feel torn between work and family...or when I am exhausted after being up through the night with my children?
What a great reminder this was to me. The dream I always wanted...a loving husband and children...I need to remember to keep Christ the center of our family and to teach my children what it means to have a mommy that is meek, gentle, kind and humble!!
