Best Day

I have never regretted quitting my career as a teacher and becoming a stay at home Mom. Quite the opposite, I feel blessed beyond measure to have the opportunity to be in the presence of my little ones all day everyday. Granted that can be hard to remember on days when I have battled strong wills while watching mounds of laundry and dishes grow right in front of my eyes. There are some days that I fall into my bed at night and wonder what I actually accomplished. Then the thought occurs to me.... the laundry and dishes will always be there, did you love on your children today? Did you spend special moments with each of them? Did you make lasting memories? It is the little things that make a big difference in a child's life. I know my standard for being a great Mom is pretty high and I never quite make it to that standard. But I try - and that counts. I know I have made a million mistakes and will make a million more. I pray often that God would protect my children from my mistakes. I wonder what they will remember as they get older - all the good stuff or all the not so good stuff. I hope and pray that when they look back they will think they had some of their best days with me because I know without a doubt my best days are with them. I saw this video the other day and let the tears fall. I want to look back at our videos one day without regret and know that I did what I could do to cherish each moment with my children, that I taught them, that I held them when they were hurt, that I showed them love in every possible way .
