So blessed

I am so blessed. I am the mom to two beautiful boys. Two boys I thought I'd never get to have. Five years ago I never though I'd be sitting here with one beautiful child, let alone two. I'm still amazed. I look at my two boys and am shocked that I am a mother, that these boys came from me and belong to me. I now say "children" instead of "child" and "sons" instead of "son." We are a family of four now. Wow!

Words cannot even begin to express how grateful I am to have these children, to be a mom. Each night I drop to my knees and thank my Heavenly Father for these blessings. I now know what they mean when they say your posterity brings you joy because I feel it each day when I am with my sons. Each smile, each laugh, each age, each stage. It all brings me joy. I am blesses, so very blessed.

That made me cry. Children are truly such a blessing, and sometimes I get too caught up in the chaos to remember to be so grateful for the sweet little ones God has entrusted me with. Thanks for sharing your post!

That is so true, and a reminder that I really needed today.

I remember the first day that hit me when I had my 2 girls. We were on a trip to see family, and the two of them were in the backseat sleeping.... I looked at them and was overwhelmed with the same thoughts: Children, instead of child, daughters instead of daughter, Family of 4. Now as a family of 7.... I find those days bring longing to my mind for simpler days. :P
I wouldn't trade what I have, but miss that moment of elation.
