IT IS THE LITTLE THINGS IN LIFE, THAT MEAN THE MOST!!!











As I sit here and read all the updates day after day… it makes me ponder my life “today”. I am making a few vows to my Lord, and I want to share them with ya’ll...

1. I promise never to complain when my dirty, healthy child comes in from playing outside in the mud. Being able to “waller” in the mud is a luxury that means your child is healthy enough to dive into unknown pools of organisms that “normally” won’t hurt their small, defenseless bodies. I miss mud pies, toy trucks in sandboxes, and rock & stick collections!

2. I will never complain when my child talks too much… even when I have a much “needed” work to be done. The chitter-chatter of a child is like music to my ears!! You will never know how much you would long for those times… until you’re sitting by the bed of your child as he sleeps hour upon hour through drug induced treatments.

3. I promise never to take for granted… the joyful laughter of my children, the giggles from the backseat of a road trip, or the "yet again" plea of my child to “WATCH ME MOMMY!!”

Imagine how it would feel if you didn’t know how long you had left with your children, or child… then take the time to thank God for each of them. My children are truly a gift from God, and I thank Him for every minute I have with them!!

I see how blessed I am to have each of our children in my life, and how my life is so much "more" rich with each of them in it. Praise God for the chance to be the Mother he desires me to be, and become the Mother that I hope blesses the lives of our precious children!

IT IS THE LITTLE THINGS IN LIFE, THAT MEAN THE MOST!!!

May God give you the same blessing… every minute of your lives!!
