Today I am thankful for motherhood.
It's something I never imagined I'd be doing.
I am so very thankful The Lord's plans for my life were NOT the same plans I had for my life.
I am honored to be the mother to these two amazing, handsome,
sometimes sassy and occasionally unruly boys.
My life is so much richer being their mother and I am trying to make everyday count, to be present in their lives and really, truly be the best mother I can be. There are, and will be moments when I don't shine as a mother, as a matter of fact I had a moment *this* week at the local bakery where I was not shining and it was very humbling. But knowing when I mess up and asking for their forgiveness is not only teaching them, it's teaching me too.
Today I am thankful for Ethan and Abram and the opportunity I have been given to be their mother, it's one of the most precious gifts I've ever been given. Thank you Lord for choosing me to be their mama.

I am so very thankful for THEM and for you being their mama too! And I am SO VERY THANKFUL that we get to raise our children living in the same town. What a blessing!!!
Love your thoughts, Salena. I am working on being more "present" as well. It's so easy to lose perspective and get caught up in all the other "to-do's" but they are the most important! Thanks for your beautiful reminder!
Being in the moment is one thing that is hard for me...I wish I could go back and be more present when my kids were small. I'm glad you are such a good Mama. Your boys are very lucky.
