It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.... That pretty much sums up my days at home with my kids. It has been said to me by many seasoned ladies in the grocery store to "treasure every moment". I don’t know if I will ever cherish the moments when my toddler throws a whole roll of toilet paper in the toilet, shreds it, and very effectively spit-balls my bathroom walls everywhere from three feet down. However, I do know that this is just a season. I know the days are long, but the years are short. The marked up walls will one day be repainted, the floor will no longer be sticky with juice, and "mommy" will be shortened to mom. And someday, I will look back on these crazy times fondly, and hopefully with those same rose-colored glasses. For now, I take comfort that we are in this together.
Our theme for this year, is The Time of Our Lives and our verse is Ecclesiastes 3:1, "There is a time for everything, a season for every activity under heaven." We pray that this year will make you mindful of time, both earthly and eternal. We are bonded by motherhood and we share the common goal of raising our children for His kingdom.
