It's been a long time... This of course because of the massive responsibility that one takes with parenting. When you made that decision in starting a family, chances are you didn't think of the essential things in life that you took for granted... until now. Waking up, walking around the house as you please without hearing "I'm hungry!" Or what about the sound of your breath, that is, without the two toddlers in the background wrestling over a glass of water... We have about 10 different cups, all shapes and sizes, colors abundantly, not to mention the infinite source of water that we seem to have in this country... KNOCK IT OFF SO I CAN ENJOY THE SOUND OF MY BREATHING!
Oh what a challange these little boys are... I enjoy it though. While I wake up and hear the grumbles of my 4 year old, followed by a whine, I marvel at the fact that... he looks like me, has the hair of his mom and is stubborn like dad. Incredible how our kids can be a mirror of ourselves, and what that does to us? SAVE THEM! Seriously though, to ponder on the fact that these little people will be the next generation to carry the torch for this country, but also for our faith. What are we teaching them? To love the Lord with all there heart, mind and strength? Or are we showing them to be relevant, in a manner that completely disregards holiness? Are we being examples of the gospel in how we interact with their mommy, or are we just going through the motions, stepping on everyones toes, being the Savior of OURSELVES? The questions may seem redundant, but how often do we stop to analyze how OUR sins, affect OUR kids?
Oh how I pray that God will have mercy on our children!
