Why do I love my children? Let me count the reasons....
~~They love to change my cell phone ringer so I never know it is MY phone ringing!
~~My bed, walls, and carpet have all been painted with permanent marker.
~~They ALWAYS have something good to say about my cooking. I NEVER hear the words yuck, nasty, disgusting, or my favorite...sick and wrong!!
~~I never know how many people I'm going to wake up with in the morning.
~~I get kisses from runny nosed children. Seriously, what are you going to do?
~~I get quite an education (most of the time humbling!) every day. Like when I asked why did Jesus have to die and the answer I got was "because he's taking all the mean stuff out of our hearts"!
~~I find the decor of our house changed. Like this.......
Or this.....
~~ I get to hear the funniest things each day. Our 3 year old keeps calling our pastor a pirate because he forgets the word pastor. He also keeps calling the angel on top of our tree a witch for the same reason!!
But the best reason is.....
I get to hear "I Love You, Mommy!" What else can I ask for in life?
Blessings,
"So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God"
1 Corinthians 10:31
