my mother heart.

most days i feel like a below average mom. there is something about working from home too many hours a day and having 2 little people who expect to be fed, changed, and entertained all day that brings out the worst in me. i lose my patience with them. a lot. but no matter how crazy they make me, there is nothing like singing them lullabies at bedtime to remind me how truly blessed i am. my favorite part of the day is hearing their sweet little voices chime in:
i'm trying to be like Jesus,
i'm following in His ways
i'm trying to love as 
He did in all that i do and say!
...love one another as Jesus loves you
try to show kindness in all that you do!
be gentle and loving in deed and in thought,
for these are the things Jesus taught.
and they go to bed with my kisses on their foreheads and a prayer in my heart to be a better mother, to love them more tomorrow, to be more like Jesus, to love them as He does.
