Is it even possible to hold a grudge against our children?
I have realized lately that, for me, it is not.
Don't get me wrong- I can't forget the things that drive me bonkers, but staying upset or angry just isn't an option.
Take last night for example- my dearest Jillian woke me up every 2 hours and was up for at least an hour between feedings. I was so upset throughout the night. I was so frustrated. Yet, this morning when she woke up and smiled at me with that beautiful baby smile, the memories of the prior 10 hours were erased.
When Jordyn is being a brat, like all 2 1/2 year olds can be, I wanna scream at the top of my lungs. I want to rip my hair out. But then moments later when she tells me one of her "stories", counts to 20, or dances for me, all I see is my amazing girl who lights up my life more than I ever thought possible.
It is great how God works. He allows us to experience these tough moments in life, only to be out weighed by the more wonderful.
I wish everyone in life was as forgiving as us moms.
