The Joy of Being Mommy

Recent mommy moments to treasure.....

Bedtime hugs, kisses, and snuggles.

Siblings playing together sweetly.

Chas: "We have the best mom in the world!" said on more than one occasion.

Chas requested homemade birthday cakes.
Madison's reaction to the finished cakes: "Wow! How pretty!"

Chas mentioning the weather had cleared, but we needed wind for kites. Without another word between us, he goes to his knees and prays for wind.

Kids running through a field with kites.

Madison's excitement about the spring choir program - Moses & the Freedom Fanatics

While reciting scripture and singing during the preschool choir program, Chas drowns out the other one hundred kids. (NOT kidding! The boy can project or was it yelling?)

Moms singing with their preschoolers....

Love is a Special Thing

(sung by the children)

A mother's love is a very special thing,

Gentle and soft as the lullaby she sings;

Warm and embracing with power like a king;

Love is a special thing.

(sung by the mothers)

The love of a child is a very special thing,

Fragile as snowflakes and utterfly wings'

Simple and trusting and promising as spring;

Love is a special thing.

(sung together)

For love is of God; Love is of God

And God's love for us is a very special thing;

Full of compassion and boundless as the sea;

Holding me close and yet letting me be free.

Love is a special thing.

So cherish it, and treasure it,

For love is a special thing.

"He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD." Psalm 113:9
