Spencer<\/p><\/div>\n

His daddy’s eyes, his mom’s nose, his grandpa’s chin, the smile of an angel’s; “Who made you that cute Spencer?”\u00a0 He always replies, “God did!”\u00a0 “Yes, he did son, because I could not have made something that amazing!”<\/p>\n

There is no child cuter, more precious, more well behaved smarter or better than your own child.\u00a0 My mother in law’s mom always said “Every old crow thinks her’s is the blackest”.\u00a0 That is so true.\u00a0 We love our children beyond reason or understanding.<\/p>\n

How blessed are we as moms to be able to watch our children grow.\u00a0 To be the one they yell for when they fall on the ground.\u00a0 To be the only person to make the hurt fade so quickly.\u00a0 To be loved like no one ever has or ever will love us again.\u00a0 To be looked at with “rose colored glasses”.\u00a0 To be mommy, what a privilege and a pleasure.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sure being mommy is not easy, convenient or always a pleasure.\u00a0 We do not hear compliments on our cooking or discipline styles.\u00a0 We do not hear thank you for bathing, clothing, sheltering, teaching and loving our children unconditionally.\u00a0 We do not get all the sleep we need, all the meals eaten hot or get to relax very often.<\/p>\n

We do get to read their favorite stories and snuggle together.\u00a0 We do get the most sincere hugs, the sweetest kisses and looks that say “You are my safety, my security and my life.”\u00a0 We do get love that is unfailing and unconditional.<\/p>\n

Thank you God for giving me the honor to be a mom, to love like I have actually given my heart away, to be loved like you love each of us.\u00a0 Thank you God for the most important blessings in my life Ethan, Anna, Spencer and Jake, I treasure and love them like only a Mommy can do.\u00a0 Thank you God!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
