Being a Mom

I cannot image the person I would be, if I were not a mom. I thank God, quite often, for my children, and not just for the many blessings they bring me in my life, but for the person God has allowed them to make me.

My children have:

Grown my walk with God

Developed my dependence on Jesus

Taught me how to be unselfish

Made me realize I don't need time to myself

Made me appreciate my husband and the time he spends at home

Grown my creativeness

Taught me about my need for prayer and quiet time with God

Helped me get my priorities straight

Showed me that appearance isn't everything

Developed my listening skills

Grown my patience

Shown me that someone is always watching

Made me realize I am an example

I am ever growing and ever changing. I can only hope and pray that my children will "rise up and call me blessed." But, I know, that I know, that I know, that I have been blessed beyond measure . . .
