One of those days

It's been one of those days
They don't come as often as I would like
But on these days my heart bursts with motherly pride, fulfillment, and true joy
When I feel so incredibly blessed to call them mine
When I really do love their ages and instead of wishing for time to speed up I am wishing that time could stand still
No whining....
No crying....
No tattling....
No fighting....
No complaining....
Today they played well together....
Today they did kind, thoughtful things for one another without being asked....
Today they shared....
Today they listened.....
Today they obeyed....
Today reminded me of why being a mother is the most cherished job on earth
These days I wish never ended.....
Yes....It's been one of those days

So glad you had a fabulous day! Those days (though they are few and far between at times) make being a mom totally worth it! :) Cute post!

Woo Hoo I love those days. You are right they don't come all the time but when they do they make everything so worth it.

It was awesome that you took time to write down your feelings. Sometimes it's hard to remember how blessed we are to raise our children and what a privilege it is to be at home with them.

You have inspired me to look for the good things today, Rachel. Thank you for that.

Wow, what a great day! My kids have moments of that, and even though it may not seem like it, I know they really love each other and would fight to the death for each. Love you and miss you :)
