Being a mom..

This is a late Mother's Day post..

Being a mom is not always the the easiest job to do, however no matter what happens I feel like it is the most rewarding job. Sure you may not make a million dollars, always have a nice clean house and your car may always be on the go here, there and everywhere chasing the kids to their events.. It starts early.. Kids start preschool at 3 now days and then soon after they start t ball and then kindergarten and next thing you know they are graduating, heading to college and starting careers and families of their own. 

I know it seems like only yesterday my oldest son was in my tummy and I was feeling him kick.. I can't believe he will be 23 in a few months.. It doesn't seem possible that my oldest daughter is carrying my first grandchild and will be finishing her senior year in college next year, my youngest daughter just graduated from high school, my middle boy will be a junior in high school next year and my youngest graduated from the 8th grade.. Wow.. 

I stand in awe of how life goes.. I mean how incredible is it that we are able to carry an egg that grows into a fetus, we feel them moving and growing inside of us, we give birth and watch them grow from an infant into an adult.. I am in awe of how that all works and think it is so cool.. I am so beyond blessed that God blesses me with 5 beautiful kids that He knew before they were formed in my womb. How cool.. He knew them before, then, now and in the future.. I have known them since they were conceived and have felt them from the inward parts of me. Being a mom is so awesome..

Being a mom is sometimes sad, hard, scary and honestly I believe that as a mom you will feel every emotion known to man at some point in time or another.. I will tell you one of the scariest moments was getting the call that my son had been attacked by a dog, picking him up to take him to the er, finding out what kinda dog it was and pulling his jeans off to reveal the damage it was horrible..

Some moms are not as fortunate as I have been. Some mothers have lost their babies before they were due, others have lost them at birth, shortly after birth, as young children or teens, some moms live with sick children everyday... Some moms have become moms by adopting a child that was without a mom. These moms are no less moms because they didn't give birth to their children.. A mother is a mother no matter what.. For those who are mothers living without their children that I pray for you.. 

Being a mom is a special gift from God and I treasure everyday as a mother.. If you are a mom thank the good Lord for giving you that job in life, thank Him for the little things and don't get so caught up in life you miss those special little and big things with your kids..

I am a proud momma..
