Mother’s Day, Celebrating My Dream

by

The one thing I can remember always wanting in life, even when I was a little girl, was to be a mom. For a few years, I wondered if my dream would remain just that, only a dream. Then God answered my prayers, and my dream was coming true before my eyes….and it has gotten bigger and better ever since.
I am a mom.
My greatest satisfaction with my life comes from the gifts God has blessed me with- being a wife and being a mother.
I was telling some of my kids today that whenever I have been given something that’s similar to what someone else has, I have always liked mine best…all of my life it’s been that way. I liked my dolls best, I liked my bike best….
Now that I am a grown up, I like my husband best (it’s a good thing since I am happily stuck ever after), and I like my kids best.
Not to ever make my kids seem like they are better than anyone else’s, but that they are the perfect kids for me to have…it’s a good fit and they are a gift from God.
Mother’s day to me is celebrating being mom, and rejoicing with the best example God could have given me of a mom….my mom.
Being mom is something I wouldn’t trade, and having my mom is something I wouldn’t trade.
Celebrate being mom, celebrate having a mom, celebrate the gift of moms- after all, life wouldn’t get very far without them.
Happy Mother’s Day!

    Nice article Jean. I feel the same towards my kids. I just feel so blessed by God and at times wonder why he has blessed me so much.
