As I read this I held such a guilty heart. Lord forgive for not being who I need to be. I will make those extra moments count. How true, that we need to relish those fleeting moments.........for they will be gone in a flash of an eye. What a gift we are given when the Lord chooses to bless us with children. The last few days have been tense to say the least and perhaps I am at fault. It does not really matter, what matters is that I remember tonight all of those years we prayed for a baby. The many nights we spent at home alone while our babies fought to live in the NICU. I will strive to be the mommy my children need, deserve and respect. I stress way too much. Today was better, tomorrow will be even better. Raising children is not for the faint of heart (especially multiples) but I have my Lord. He tells me, "I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me." Philippians 4:13. So, thank you Jennifer (MckMama) for the reminder.
Blessings!!!

Thanks for sharing that article. That's something, I think, all of us mothers need to be reminded of at times.
She's definitely right. Even though I'm enjoying my eldest being 12, I have to admit I miss him running around in a cape jumping off the furniture, as he did as a toddler. We can't be reminded too much to appreciate those moments that will quickly pass by.
