Sweet little girls for me to care for. Each one reminds me of love. I love watching their sweet faces, seeing their smiles and watching them play together.
There is nothing like the bond between a mother and her daughters.
“I’m never leaving you!” says one.
“You’re the best mom,” says another.
I love looking into their eyes. I treasure the little apologies: “I’m sorry, Mom,” when they make a mistake.
I love our silly jokes and the times we run around playing. They make me feel like a kid again.
I love hearing their stories and watching them marvel as they discover the world.
I enjoy teaching them about this and that, and I cherish the hours we spend together in the kitchen, cooking the things we love.
Sometimes it’s hard being their mama. At times I want to run away from the heavy responsibilities that come with motherhood.
It can be tough to juggle appointments, meet everyone’s needs, and listen to all the little voices asking for attention.
But somehow the necessary things get done. With God’s help, we manage.
I don’t want to miss these days. I don’t want to miss their smiles, their tiny frowns, or the times we chase each other through the house. I don’t want to miss the beautiful moments of bonding.
When these girls are grown, I want to look back and be thankful for these times. These are the days I will cherish.
Have a wonderful week, friends. I hope you continue to find beauty in life, even when it brings its challenges.
