"Behold children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward."
Psalm 127:3
Yesterday, was a momma's perfect day. I'm so blessed to be a wife to one and mom to my four Rowdy kids and now my little foster love. If you say it's easy being a wife and mom, I'd like to be a fly on your wall. I could use some pointers. Although we often hear…you got your hands full. I recognize that being a mom has got to be the hardest thing I have ever had to do, but it's God's greatest gift to women to have the job title…WIFE and MOM.
God has equipped me to do things that just doesn't come naturally for my husband. I can cook dinner, help with homework, feed the kids, feed the animals, clean the kitchen, give baths, have devotional done all in record timing. My husband on the other hand. Don't get me wrong, my hubby is good; but does he have the mom touch? Absolutely not.
I was under the weather Tuesday and Wednesday so Daddy had to step up to the plate to help me out. He got the boys ready and took them to school. Worked a full day at his job. Picked up the kids. Made dinner. Not sure the kids did homework. Attempted to clean the kitchen. It was late when he finished those task. He sat down on the coach next me and Charlee said…what about showers? He said...I am not supermom like your mother…All I could do was smile as I felt extremely blessed and important.
So yesterday, feeling better, I was back to work. But it was different. I was renewed in a sense. Released from the slump I fall into so easily. I appreciated my job a little more. As moms and wives, it's easy to fill unimportant as women, but that is just a lie the devil whispers in our ears. My husband needs me to keep our home functionable. If thats a word? My Landry needs me to have those deep conversations we have after bath time. Charlee needs me to do the funky dance with him each time he spells a word right. Steven needs me to wash his sheets WEEKLY (teenage boys stink!) Peyton and Cory need me every second of my day. Being a mom and wife is full time.
We often joke about having our own reality show. We bring a lot of drama to our world. It does get Rowdy and crazy more often than not. HOWEVER, being a mom and wife: I wouldn't trade it for anything. Be blessed knowing this is the number one job God has given us as women.
