Thankful for my children…
I just wanted to express how thankful I am for my children. There are so many times as parents we go day to day doing the daily things we do with out thought to our schedules. Some days seem busier than others and some we might have a few more minutes to sit and take in an extra cup of coffee or an extra minute on the computer.
I think there are so many more minutes in MY day when I can actually engage my children in conversation or a game or even a fun walk outside. I know in my situation with eight children and extra house guests, tutoring, sports, going to the gym, medical issues with some of my children, medical issues with my mom whom we care for, medical issues with my self there are many days I can say…I cannot do it. I NEED to be here for my children. What will my children remember when I am gone? I want to not just leave the a heritage of materialistic items, I want to leave them a heritage that lasts in their hearts and minds. Something that will stay with them forever. Today as I am preparing for Reignah Joy’s 6th birthday she smiles at me and the hugs me and said today is the day you were my mommy! I said nope today was the day you were my Reignah Joy. That statement wrecked me in a great way. I love spending time with my children. I love seeing them smile, laugh and scream and going nuts when I pull in the drive way. I want to make memories. Take every moment I can find and make sure my children know how much I WANT to be around them and let them know that they are NOT a bother. So, I guess the challenge today is find a few more minutes in your crazy schedule above and beyond what you do now and start creating more memories that are going to be told over and over because they will be stored in their hearts and soul until the end of time…
