Proverbs 17:6
Children's children are a crown to the aged, and parents are the pride of their children.
Don't we all take pride in our children? No matter what our children do we have this immense unconditional love for them, they make us proud. I was watching a movie the other day that explained parenting like this: "there are lots of really crappy moments all day long, I mean all day long, but then something miraculous happens-something so special you can't even put it into words. Now that is what being a parent is all about." Although there are some less glorious moments I can't really say that there are many crappy moments in a day, but I completely agree with the miraculous things kids do. Whether it's Wyatt putting his first sentence together or helping clear the table, or Camden's grunty little laugh when he see's me after nap time. They may seem like ordinary everyday things but to me they are little miracles. Each and everyday my kids astound me with something new (good and bad) but regardless it is grand and special to me always. One of today's miracles was watching Wyatt with his God-dad. He loves Chad, wants to do everything Chad does. We stayed the night with the boys God-parents and everytime Chad would leave the room Wyatt would follow him or throw himself on the floor crying because he wanted to be with the "big boys" aka daddy and Chad. When Wyatt awoke from his nap he wanted to go cuddle with Chad not mama or daddy. It was so cute and heartwarming to see him love the people that we love and see all the good that we see in them. To trust someone so fully and love them. We are traditional type people so if Jacob and I meet Jesus earlier than expected Wyatt and Camden will be going to live with Chad and Kristie, seeing the way they love both of our boys whether it's play wrestling with Wyatt or cuddling and rocking Camden while gaming. They are parents to our children to. And I see the pride and love in their eyes while they take care of our boys. It makes my heart flutter with joy to know our boys are well loved and cared for by so many.
Well here goes. . . I think kids are an amazing gift and blessing from God, so I have set out to blog how they bless me, teach me, and impact my life daily. How watching them shows me God's love and purpose for us. Lastly, how he uses me to teach them also.
Wyatt and Camden are truly blessed to have such fantastic god-parents.
ReplyDeleteChad and Kristie, the special way you love my grandsons, well it warms this yaya's heart every time I witness it. I know they are always in "God's hands" when they are with you.
