I haven't blogged in forever, so I decided today is the day! My mind has been lately on the subject of "Mom".
I love being a Mom. I'm thankful I'm a Mom. I became a Mom when I had no idea what I was doing. (I think most of us do.) I became a Mom to a beautiful 5 year old boy who was asking for a Mom. He thought I was an answer to his prayers. (hee hee) The next year a little black haired boy came to us on Christmas Eve. 5 Years later, another black headed little boy was laid in my arms on a Thursday in February. Every time, I wondered if I could love this one, like I do the rest. Every time, I found a little more love in my heart. Because I'm a Mom.
I get tired, I get sick, I get frustrated and I get worried.
I get hugs, I get kisses, I get High Fives and I get text messages.
I get happy.
I recently lost a friend who was a Mom.
She left 4 gorgeous kids who need a Mother. I get worried about them. Because I'm a Mom. But I found that just like when every child is born, your love just grows to meet the new arrival. I found a little extra 'Mom' to pass around. When they visit, I fix their favorite meal. I happen to have an extra hug when I run into them in town. Somehow, I can fit their names right into my prayer time along with my three children.
It's amazing.... because I'm a Mom.
And I don't think a Mom ever has too many children.......do you?
