My Girls and Family Fun

When people ask me what I do, I always say I am a mother first.

This bike belongs to nicholas.  He enjoys his rides through the open roads.  Thank you for the many miles of memories. 

I love being a mother becaue my children allow me to lavish them with love.  All I give them, they happily receive and enjoy.  They have blessed me, prayed for me, thanked me, appreciated me, and, of course, I'm then encouraged to give more love.

God has givin' me the gift of Love, Strength, Inner Beauty and Health.  But the best gift of all for a mother to recieve is the gift of a child.  Holdin' that special Angel that has been blessed to you..  The moment they set that child in your arms the love immediatly takes place.  It's not only UNCONDITIONAL at first sight, but love and first touch.

Simply having children does not make mothers.   Loving a child is a circular business...the more you give, the more you get, the more you get, the more you give. 

Parenthood is a partnership with God....you are working with the Creator of the universe in shaping human character and determining destiny.

A hundred years from now it will not matter what the bank account was, the sort of house  I lived in, or the kind of car I drove...but the world may be different because I was important in the life of a child.

Ask the primary question:  "What does my child need?"  The answer is not necessarily clean pillowcases, vegetables, or proper bedtimes.  The answer is:  Our  children need us to be the guardians of the trust, the protectors of family relationships, parents with clear focus and pure hearts.  They need us to have faithful hearts-to care deeply, passionately, and affectionately for them.

1999 Christmas with two adorable angels.  How could life be better. The look in their faces as the camera captures the twinkle in their eyes.

My baby girl loves Barney.  What child doesn't.   If he can make her smile...I am happy.   The best things you can give your children, next to good habits, are good memories.

           THE WORLD NEEDS

A little more kindess and a little less creed,
A little more giving and a little less greed;
A little more smile and a little less frown,
A little less kicking a man when he's down;
A little more "we" and a little less "I,"
A little more laugh and a little less cry;
A few more flowers on the pathway of life,
and fewer on graves at the end of the strife.

Diapering a baby is an eternal act that looks temporary.  In that moment when a parent is leaning over her baby, and their eyes look in steady gaze, true bonding occurs.  Parent/child intimacy doesn't bring up accourding to schedule fifteen-minute intervals.  It happens at 2:00 a.m. when your eyes are bloodshot and feel like they're full of gravel.  In those unplanned moments, heaven hushes while a parent and child are suspended in a loving eye-to-eye embrace.  It didn't  feel eternal when you crawled out of bed, but it was.   Discerning what is eternal isn't easy; it is often camouflaged in the simple, ordinary things of life.  The temporal is brassy and demanding and lound.  It standss up and screams for our attention.  But we have to train our eyes to see the eternal in the unlikely events of everyday life.
