I Love Being a Mom
I love being a mom. I will say it again. I love being a mom. It is the greatest and the hardest and the most rewarding and most trying thing I have ever done, after being a wife. I love being a mom of daughters. I love being a mom of sons. I love being a grandmother too.
Okay, so maybe I go on too much. But, I think that I don’t hear often enough the joy of being a mom and grandmom. There are always so many things on the schedule that it is easy to forget just why we do them. So, today I will share with you some of the reasons I love being a mom.
I love reading stories, singing lullabies, hearing prayers, listening to downloads of the activity they just participated in, baking together, reading scriptures, kissing booboos, hugging a crying child to calm and comfort him or her, planning outings, making lunches, reading or reciting poems, memorizing passages together, reading journals (only when requested), waiting on the news of passing a test, praying for my child, dancing together, watching them participate in cultural and sports activities, looking at pictures of memories, remembering the good times and remembering how we have made it through the bad times, taking yoga classes together, watching rainstorms from the window, taking sign language classes together, rejoicing with my child over triumphs and watching them grow into productive, happy, independent, self-sufficient adults.
I could go on and on. So, today, will you share with us the things you love most about being a parent or the things you love most about your parents? Have an MPowered Day!
