Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well and pleasing to the Lord. Colossians 3:20
Things I love about being a parent.
- holding a little hand in mine on parking lots
- morning snuggle time
- evening snuggle time
- sloppy kisses
- seeing myself in them
- watching McDaddy be a daddy
- the funny things they say
- the funny things they say when they shouldn’t be saying them
- hearing ‘Hey Mommy’ for the 418th time in one day
- how my kisses can fix anything
- folding little boy laundry
- watching them grow
- all the mommy stuff (appointments, playdates, fixing lunches, etc)
- teaching my boys to be confident, but not proud
- listening to them sing for the Lord
- hearing them giggle
- when the stars are aligned and they play great together
- how everything in our home can be considered a race
- finding little cars all.over.the.house
- cleaning ears and trimming fingernails (weird, I know)
- seeing sweet crooked teeth when they smile
- hearing their excitement when I come through the door
- watching them play
- having cars running all over my back when they play mountain
- homeroom mother PTA stuff
- when they say ‘you are my best friend’ to eachother
- hearing them say, ‘I love you’ to me
- Watching them sleep
I love being a mommy. I pray daily for God’s guidance and wisdom in raising the two little boys that he blessed me with.
Enjoy your Sunday!

What a great list!!! I wish I’d taken the time to write one up. sigh… Next year?
What a great list. I think I may have to borrow your idea if that is okay. I agree that there is no bigger calling or blessing that to be a parent. Happy Sunday!
great list! I especially like the part about listening to them giggle. I tell my son all the time that his giggle is my favorite sound in the whole world.
