YES..because you have to know...I am raising some really cool kids!
You see this easily distracted goofy kid?
Thinking now how nice it was to see him be this responsible in the morning...as I'm usually the one saying "did you do...." it was all done!
Then this one tells me last night while I was cooking, she's ready to give up her pink blankie..me thinking "yeah right."
But when she walked up to me this morning and gave me one to give away "to another little baby".. I thought where is this coming from?!
Of course she has three of them (thanks to her Poppy) so these are small steps but really am I ready for these "baby things to be over?"
Now this fellow...he marches to a different tune.
Never wants for anything unless it's a drink of water..seriously. And because when he does ask for something it's quite often granted his big brother has put him up to the task of doing most of the asking as of late..which is when I'll tell him to tell big brother to come ask me..and give him the eye and lecture.
So often I have to check on Trooper making sure he knows he's loved and see if he needs anything even if it's just a hug~n~kiss.
Even now as his sister is leaving trails behind her through the house he is quietly playing with the same thing he was hours ago and when it 's time to clean up ..he jumps right in.
Today I celebrate my kids~ they have become truly "gems in my crown"!
The evidence of teaching HIS children HIS ways also comes down to this.. it is the right thing to do!
And just when you need it most after all the days; months; years of grooming for the Lord finally they start to bud!
Malachi 4:2 (New Living Translation)
“But for you who fear my name, the Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in his wings. And you will go free, leaping with joy like calves let out to pasture. "
This is true..

When the blankets are gone, you will wonder what happen to my babies... where did they go. It might just be a good thing that there will soon be a "New Baby" in the family!!!MOM

Its is sad and joyful at the same time to see them grow up. :)
*SIGH* Such mixed feelings about them growing up and finally doing things for themselves. Yet, you still want them to rely on you.
What a great post. All of us mothers can relate. I always enjoy reading the scripture you chose for the topic.
How precious! I hope my kids are that well behaved when they're older!
Great post! Its so nice to see some "fruits" amidst all the labor.
You are truly blessed!
Aw! Amen! Praise the Lord for your kids. Precious post.
