For All Young Mothers

Winter is almost over and I know you cannot wait for warmer days where the children can get outside and play, where the noses will finally stop running and you can have a day where you are not locked in the house with 1, 2, 4 or maybe even 6 screaming, fighting, whining kids yelling MOMMA!!!!!!!!!!!! As spring begins to show its little signs of buttercups and daffodils let me give you a few words of hope and encouragement. Just as winter turns into spring, these long days of child-rearing will turn into adulthood. Your little ones will be grown-some married, some in college, some working, etc. And all the hard work and perseverance of long days kooped up in the house changing diapers, making lunches, telling stories, breaking up fights, washing clothes, making cookies, doing homework, giving baths, saying prayings and getting that last glass of water before bed will have paid off and you will be so blessed to be able to share special times together with your adult children. You can have dinner with your daughters and lunch with your sons. Your sons will bring you flowers and buy you gifts. Your daughters will do your shopping, listen to your thoughts and help you through the times. Your cup will overflow with love, joy and pride. So "Let us not grow weary in well doing for in due season we shall reap if we faint not." Galatians 6:9

Thank you Sara, Ryan, Summer, Josh, Luke, and Samuel for blessing me in so many, many ways. I love you all. MOM
