So last week I sat down my kids and asked them "so what do you love about mommy"... it first turned into a little argument as to who was going to go first, but after we went by birth order (which my little one does not like) it was funny to hear their responses... so of them I wouldn't have said about myself - because I didn't see that quality in me... but its awesome the eyes they saw me with. The love that I am beautiful, Godly, a great cook, funny, loving, and the list when on and on... (I have three kids)
Then they turned the tables around and asked me... but they made sure that I didn't repeat any of the answers...
So I sat them all down and in the midst of their giggles I shared what I loved about each one of them...
We are not rich. We are okay I suppose... we try to supply all of our kids needs and some wants from time to time... but how I pray that moments like this they will keep in their hearts forever.
I know they are young and one day they might grown up and transform into an alien and forget all this lovey dovey stuff... and say things like we don't love them because they can't stay out late, or can't wear makeup or those "fashionable" clothes... lol...
But the seeds of love have been deeply planted in each heart.
It got even better when dad got home from work and they ran to meet him... all shouting dad so what do you love about me.
At the end of the evening my little one Priscilla cuddles up with me and says that she is special because was a surprise from God and that makes her even more special!!! I just had to laugh and kiss her... as I reminded my spunkalicious one that yes she is truly special and so are her sister and brother...
Thank you Jesus for reminding me how much you love me through these precious little ones.
