If your name starts with an "M" and ends in "OM" you know just what I am talking about. Long days and loud kids have a way of bring out the worst in a gal when she is not feeling well or plain ole occupied with other things.
However, I came across the words today " you will REAP what you sow". YIKES! I did not sow good seed today. My excuse...I am recovering from puking my guts out two nights ago. Yes, it sounds worthy enough. However, I know that it does not give me any special treatment to be mean to others. So...all you effected by Mindy's moodiness, please accept my apologies.
Being a young mother of 3 wee ones has brought on a whole lot of responsibility, trials, and some real scary times. The hours of time put into burping, bathing, feeding, toilet training, reducing fevers, playing, teaching, discipline, instructing, rocking and my least favorite; breaking up fights are incredible.
The good news. I know that children are a blessing from the Lord. I know women out there right now crying out because their dream is to conceive. So once again I humbly give thanks for my 3 beautiful children. I vow to view motherhood in a whole new way starting today. It is the most important job that anyone could ever receive. One that last all day every day for years to come. One with a low turn over rate. One that is no laying off their employees. And most of all it is one that does not pay in dollars and cents, but pays off in the long term investment plans of the the lives of the next generation. I pray I am still here to see the results!
To all Mothers who are and will read this. Thank you for taking time to teach your children the things they will come to remember forever.

I accept your apologies :)
ReplyDeleteJust kidding, but so true! There were many days I would have given anything to have my little baby and now that I do I'm so thankful for him...even the middle of the night wakings :)
