Stay at home moms spend countless hours with their children. So when my kids have a hard time letting go of me when I am away from home, it always takes me by surprise. Recently while I was away for a few days at a conference, I came home to this creature sitting on my couch. Isn't she lovely? That is me, minus my head. My girls dressed a body pillow in my clothes, placed her on the couch and gave her my laptop. I had my own mini-me!
As a Mom, I sometimes lose the vision of just how important I am in the lives of my children. I get wrapped up in life: cooking, cleaning, errands, laundry, blogging, hobbies, chauffering, working, serving....you get the idea. So when they build a statue of me while I am gone, it kinda gets my attention!
God has entrusted me with these children to raise for the Glory and Honor of His name. It is an immeasurable honor and I desire to make him proud.
This summer I will be far more intentional in pouring into the lives of my children than I ever have before. I am excited that I have found some terrific resources to help me along the way. Come on back next week and I will tell you all about it!
Oh how this made me laugh! I reminds me of my late at night blogging when I feel like I have no brain. Your children are precious. They know their mama very well!
