Quiet Reflection


The other day the kids were playing so well while I was feeding Brynlee. I looked up at one point to check on Camden and noticed him in the corner of the living room, quietly looking at books and playing with his phone. I quickly got up to take a picture. This is something that doesn't happen very often with him, where he is actually sitting still and quiet and playing by himself. As I sat and looked at him I was reminded of how blessed I am to be able to be this sweet boys mom. How I love him and the complete joy that he brings into my life. Every time I see his little face and he looks at me, I can just see and feel his love for me. It never gets old and it keeps me going when he has ran me rugged and tired.
 I looked around the room again and saw the girls playing so nicely with the Lego's and looked a the world they were playing with and had created. I once again thought how blessed I am to be their mom. They are such good girls. They love each other, they are so kind and patient with Camden, they are great big sisters and helpers. When I look at them I see the beautiful people they are becoming and I notice their desire to do good. They are such wonderful examples to me of how to be more like the Savior. They love so deeply and forgive me so easily of all of my shortcomings as a mother. They are sure to tell me that they love me every time we are apart and I often hear the words: "your the best mom ever!" When I hear that, I know that I must doing ok, even though I know I could be doing so much better.
