A Happy Home...
As I sit down on this uncomfortable computer chair, wanting to complain...tired and worn out from daily living...cleaning the house, chasing the kids while playing super heros...doing the dishes, folding the laundry and trying to put it all away and trying to figure out what to make for dinner...
I realize sheesh my life is the same thing day in and day out....Does it ever end??? Or does the Laundry ever go away??? Does the kitchen automatically clean itself up after making lunch and homeade cookies??? Does the bathroom mess from my husbands shaving the night before go away if I avoid it??? Does the laundry piles go away from lack of time to do it all???
I have a hunch that it probably will not!!!
Then I ask myself is it all worth it??? Or am I doing a good job?? Does anyone appreciate it???
Well of course they do...The kids may not tell you thank you for every meal or ever kiss on the head from when they fall down and get a boo boo....or for showing them how to put their pants on the right way...
What makes it all worth it is the smiles I get from them; when they come up and hug me for no reason and kiss me on the cheek; when they say momma you know what??? I love you....*smile* it makes my heart melt and everything worth while.
When my husband tells me thank you for doing a simple task such as cleaning off the kitchen counter tops, or when he sends me text messages telling me to have a wonderful day, or a short but sweet email from him telling me that work really stinks, but he can't wait to see me...lol
These are the times that make me realize that I have it all...
A Wonderful God who has blessed me with these people in my life....
A Wonderful Husband who has given me these little blessings and
Two Wonderful little Boys 5 and 4 who give me the hardest of times yet are so ready to hug and kiss me even when I just took them in my room to "deal" with them.
Thank you Lord for all your many blessings in my life. I truely am blessed. Grant me the strength to do it all again tomorrow!!!!
