There was a time I longed for a misbehaving child. I begged God for a crying, teething toddler. I prayed for sleepless nights spent caring for my children. I have been given exactly what I asked for. God answered my prayers.
Sometimes I forget. Sometimes I get frustrated with my kids. I then stop and say to myself, you are a mom. A mom who does not have to get up every morning to go to work. A mom who may still be in her pajamas at 11:00 a.m. because I have spent the morning cooking breakfast, changing diapers, wiping noses, cleaning up spills, playing with tractors and matchbox cars.
I am blessed. I am a mom. Exactly what I longed to be.

God is always so good. And He always answers our prayers
Still 'milking' the 2 days off during the work week so I can have those PJ days ... As frustrating as they are, I know they're important ... And they'll end sooner than I want them to ... I, too, am one of the lucky ones! I am blessed.
When I have a home full of naughty boys, you go ahead and remind me that I wished for it too! :)
Well said. That was very encouraging! I am blessed to be able to stay home and care for my kids too.
My Mom said this was a must read - it was great!! Loved it!!
