I knew going into parenthood would be tiring, and alot of hard work, heart break, and high times would be on the cards, and I think these days more so (having two beautiful kids). But no matter how tired, strained or worn out I am, I still see these days as the best of my life!!!
My kids are such a blessing and at the end of a hard day I still come out with an immense sense of joy and wonderment at my life! How I have come so far, out of darkness and into light, out of hell and into Heaven. Even now I still can hardly believe what God has intrusted to B and I!
I watch and listen to how other people interact with their kids, especially when I am out, and I wonder sometimes if parents truly understand how they talk to, and behave around, their kids affects them!! How easy it is to forget that these wonderful creations are intrusted to us, not owned by us! I have noticed alot of people in the shopping centres dominating their kids, or allowing the child to dominate them... I wonder if I look like that sometimes! I wonder if we actually realise how easy it is to mold and shape their minds. They trust us in all that we teach them, if you taught a young child that orange is black, he/she'll believe you!
Have you ever wondered how good a job you are doing, or have done with your kids? I do all the time! But when my kids behave well, just because they want to, I want so squeeze them so tight.... I do get a case of the "prouds" when people comment on my kids being good, or doing well, and I just thank God that something He has told me/or given to me (in a skill), has come through in my kids!
Children are awesome! God has given me another reason to get up and do it all over again! He has given me joy in all seasons, and these blessings are the physical representation of it to me!
