Even though there are constant "interruptions" at this point in motherhood, I want to remember that years from now I will long for a little one to come pull at my leg to get me to watch him do a somersault. And I will wish for a little one to hold in my lap all day long.
Lord, give me patience for their constant questions, and request. Let me see opportunities to teach, to train, and to love. Show me their unique personalities, strengths, and weaknesses. Give me endurance to mother them for the long haul, not just what is easiest now. Help me love them the way You do.
Thank you for making me a Mother. It is all I had dreamed and more.
Amen
