my answer.
Dear Kids,
Will you grow up and look at me one day and ask,
Mom. How did you do it?
There were so many of us. You were outnumbered by lots. We had so many sticky hands and dirty feet and frogs in our pockets and demands in our voices.
What will I say?
What can I say?
I think I’ll say . . .
You are worth it.
Every step of the way.
You. Are. Worth. It.
Because these sticky, exhausting, busy, full years with you guys by my side are my favorite.
You are worth it.
Always and always.
Worth it.
That’s what I’ll say
because
that is what
will
always
be
true.

I *love* how you love your children. In a social media world where the current trend seems to be hateful or spiteful or shaming toward your own children, this is beautiful. Love love love!! And they will have the treasure of looking back and reading your words one day, and never finding hate or spite or shame. What a gift you are to your children 🙂

Your beautiful children are worth it, every moment.
As are mine and all God’s children everywhere.
I believe children give us the hope, the ability to keep on keeping on through the Hard because they are so filled with God’s hope and joy.
So much love and many prayers as you do today.
