Thank you for giving me perspective and making me shed some much needed tears. Sometimes I think it is good to remember the joys of motherhood that far outway the trials.

I just posted on another blog, it was a post from a mom who thinks the kids room's always look messy/cluttered, and I said that I try to cherish the mess, because all too soon it will be gone. My oldest no longer has toys in her room. They grow up too fast...thanks for posting this. A great reminder for all of us.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02713598399274298819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423302133297844372.post-12502897368528913172009-10-08T19:44:47.172-04:002009-10-08T19:44:47.172-04:00My baby just got her drivers license today, and I ...My baby just got her drivers license today, and I have been spending the day thinking how quickly all those years have flown by.

I cringe to think of another seven years gone! Why can't it take twice as long for them to grow up? I certainly have bad days, and certainly I get impatient, but I wouldn't trade this time for the world. Thanks for posting some perspective for those bad days!

I couldn't help but think how much I will miss these days. Right now my little boy still thinks I am great and wants to climb up in my lap and snuggle. My baby girl still needs me to help her do so many things. But I have 2 girls that have grown up so fast too. I remember the day I brought my first baby girl home from the hospital it seems like yesterday but now that tiny baby girl can wear my shoes! Many days I am so tired from training and taking care of my family but I keep Galatians 6:9 at the front of my mind-or at least try to=)Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06562007294784747473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423302133297844372.post-42791147663638567552009-10-08T09:27:07.765-04:002009-10-08T09:27:07.765-04:00Oh my goodness~ *tears*.

I'm sure it's not helping that I don't feel that great and don't have much energy because of the pregnancy. I started getting a little depressed the other day and then asked myself, why? God is giving us another miracle and I want to be thankful. So, I turned my attitude around and became very thankful for the blessings he has given us.Regina Coblentzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03054742665926592882noreply@blogger.com
