I am so blessed to be called MOMMY. I do not take it for granted one day. On the days or at the moments it seems as if I am "complaining" I am really just really thankful that I can talk about all those things that come with being having kids. Because I know there are those who cannot and I pray for those very much. (You know who you are.)
There is this Kari Jobe song that talks about the goodness of God, I just love it, it says "You are good, You are good, You are good, and Your mercy is forever."
Maybe our meanings for what being a mom are different, but whatever it means to you... I pray you celebrate your position and rejoice in knowing that God is good and even when the hard times come... His mercy endures forever!
