I am blessed! I need to remember to stop and think about that often. It is all too easy to get caught up in the every day and forget about the details that make life so beautiful!
Yes, it is a challenge to raise 6 sons and the pressure I feel sometimes about them becoming wonderful, honorable men can be overwhelming. But more than anything they are an adventure – a beautiful, wonderful adventure. They are funny, sincere, trusting, silly, gross even – everything that makes them perfectly who they are! This is what I need to remember, to be reminded of every day.
Our 3 year old is the one who makes my life the most challenging right now. He is a very stubborn and strong willed child, something I had never experienced before he came along. He was my sunshine though – my laughter every day. I say was, because about halfway through the twins first year some of the laughter left and the challenges became almost overwhelming. I am currently struggling to bring it all back into balance and to find that thing that makes our relationship click again! Yes, I know it is possible and I will – with the help of the Lord – find the solution. Only He holds the answers and the key to Jeremy’s heart, I am seeking Him for guidance and security and calm! This is my challenge!
But again, I thank God for all I have been given! Why have I been blessed with 6 sons? I may never know – but He does and that’s all that matters! I am blessed ~ I am blessed!
