The Best Days…

Filed under: Family, Reflections — brin at 3:40 pm on Thursday, January 15, 2009

Being a mom of a 3 1/2 year old and a 6 1/2 month old is without a doubt the best thing I’ve ever done.  As challenging as it can be, these days with my two children are simply…the best days of my life.  Evan and Tanner bring me such joy and happiness.  I have the privledge of being called “mommy” by them.

Time is like a vapor the Bible says.  I know these “golden years” with my boys will fly by and one day I’ll be looking back at our memories only in a photo album.  I’m treasuring each and every day I’ve been given with them.  Their bright eyes and warm smiles are things I will treasure and forever etch into my mind.

Every “I love you, mommy” and heartfelt hug, every stinky diaper changed whilst I’m looking at my boy’s gummy smile, seeing them both learn something new for the first time, the gurgling sound as he tries to “talk,” that feeling over and over again that my heart just might burst with love over the two priceless gifts I’ve been given.

I don’t strive to climb a corporate ladder, wear the highest fashions, make the most money or even be what everyone else thinks I should be.  I’m me, forever striving to be a Christian mom to my children in every sense of the word.

These days, the days raising my children, I am sure are the absolute best days of my life.

What a beautiful post, Brin… I often stop myself in the middle of my tracks and remind myself that one day, this will all be behind me… and I begin living in the 'moment' again… What amazes me is that God gives spiritual gifts and earthly blessings… but children are both spiritual and earthly… a unique blend… a precious gift… God is awesome! Enjoy your beautiful boys, Brin. They are precious!
