Between all the busyness of a given day, a given school year, its hard to know when you are being blessed until the moment is gone. I am blessed with 8 wonderful, little and big, blessings in my life! I love how they always bring me back to who I am and what I am trying to accomplish too. Yes, sometimes its in their fussing or whining about what so and so just did, sometimes its in the haziness of an early morning waking up to big, bright, blue 3yo eyes looking right into mine and smiling, and sometimes its in an older child's blog reminding me of what I did accomplish breaking up the small fights, looking into those 3yo's blue eyes. Thank you Shaina! You blessed me!

And her children shall rise and bless her, when they get to college....
I have been trying to write this blog for quite some time. Time never waits though, and the days have gone on. This morning though, I read my daughter's blog and it was about me, and my husband. She actually did, "rise and bless" me. Wow! Still having little ones around, I wasn't quite sure what it felt like. But I realized it this morning as I read. Tears streaming down my face, blubbering away....yes, someone actually liked their upbringing in williamsville. I guess the Bible is right, and literal, when it says, "and when they are old..."

Aww mom! I'm so glad you're blogging now. It's the most fun thing to do online, I've decided. And I'm glad you read and liked my blog:) I liked yours too, and will be checking up on it to make sure you keep blogging. And yes, when I get home i'll watch the chickens. I especially miss the 3yo one with blue eyes.
ReplyDeleteOh! And I never told you this. When I was home for Easter, I was singing at the piano and Lena came in. She did that every time, I was pleased though because I like to see the younger ones like music and the piano. Anyway, I was playing "I will exalt you" by Brooke Fraser, and "How He Loves," and instead of singing it all myself, I told her to sing with me. Then after going through it a few times, I told her to sing by herself as I played, and it was thee most precious thing ever, oh my goodness. You might have cried. Her sweet little bird voice singing, "I will exalt you, I will exalt you, I will exalt you, you are my God" and "He loves us, oh how he loves us, oh how he loves us, oh how he loves."
I loved doing that with Lena, and texting Liv everyday... you do realize she takes your phone to text me right? Anyway, Love you so much, and I'm proud you're blogging! Your book is going to be a best seller. And sorry I didn't rise and bless you till I got to school;)
so sweet! So happy I had such good examples in the families at C.A. on how to raise Godly children. I pray that our baby would rise and bless me as well :)
ReplyDeleteJase and I are taking notes!
