Blessed to be a mother

Look at these four kids!  God has blessed me as mommy to these four humans.  I am daily amazed, stunned even, to be entrusted with these children.  To get to love and cry and hug and laugh and pray and praise and yell and scold and train and trust and hope and dream over Kyle, Miranda, Braden and Connor is my greatest heart-filling joy.  Thank you, Lord, for giving me the opportunity to be mother over these children.  Lord, please bless and keep them, let them always know and feel that they are loved, guard their hearts, open their minds to what you want them to learn and protect them from the things they need not know.  Thank you for loving them even more than I do.  Amen.
