unsurpassed goodness…

I wanted more time… I wanted to keep them… I wanted not to feel so selfish…

I am constantly telling my kids that ”I want” is just a mm away from “gimme”… We don’t use it, we don’t say it, we try and remain as far away from it as  possible and to stay grateful and content with what we have…

oh but not Saturday… not me…I was all about the ” I want”

It simply was not enough time for me…

I wanted more… more time with two of the MOST amazing, polite, funny, KIND and smart kiddos one could ever imagine.

I tried to take notes, you know, so I could be “that” mom ~ the kind with perfect kids ~ but MamaT did nothing  but smile.

There was no bribing, no cajoling, no threatening, nada, nothing, zipp-o.

I would whip my head around, looking for the “evil eye” that I give my kids. 

Nope. She just smiled.

I would listen as she spoke, waiting to see if there was a secret language…

or if she used that low-voice staccato don’t.even.think.about.it voice I give my kids.

Nope. She just carried on with sweet conversation and honest enjoyment with both kiddos.

MamaT, missM and misterE, I can honestly say that you are all just perfectly, marvelously, pleasantly wonderful.

We were more than blessed to have spent a wee-bit of time Saturday with you: we are blessed to call you our friends.

Seriously though, I need your book on child-rearing ~ please MamaT write one: you are doing such a spectacular job raising them.

Here is a small peek of your not-of-this-world kiddos…

missM, do you have any inkling special He has made you?  Your stunningly gorgeous “outsides” match your golden heart…

 misterE, you are incredibly handsome and completely adorable both inside and out…

 

ahhhh… missM I can simply just repeat ~

your beauty is only surpassed by your goodness…you are your mother’s daughter

that smile… those eyes…those yummy little teeth…

you are something special misterE and the world is better because of you

much more coming your way…

Be Blessed
