MY CHILDREN TAUGHT ME

I am so ungrateful at times. But one things is for sure I will ALWAYS be grateful GOD chose me to be their mother!!!! They have taught me PATIENCE. It's impossible to raise happy, loving, forgiving children without patience. Patience when waiting for your turn in the bathroom. Patience when they are screaming and fighting all day. Patience when that little one dragging the purple unicorn is walking slow but sweetly to the van when you are already running late.

 They have taught me FORGIVENESS. They showed me to forgive even when someone doesn't deserve it. They have forgave me when I forgot about school project. They have forgave me when I that time I selfishly yelled at them to be quite cause I had a headache. They have taught me UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. No matter how many times you fail, no matter how many times you mess up or forget they will always have this undying love for you.

They taught me to be SELFLESS. You can't be selfish mother. It's no longer about you when you have children. They have taught me KINDNESS. PEACE. JOY. COMPASSION......They are sadden when they see that sick child or animal on TV. They go sit with the elderly on Sunday who may need that extra loving.

They taught me the LOVE OF GOD!! I see GOD in them daily. I see GOD using them to draw me closer to him. In those moments of troubled times and pain when I doubt God.... when I am asking where he actually is....in walks one of the kids with a whole message from God....saying "HERE I AM, I HAVE BEEN HERE ALL ALONG."
