It's Enough
Thoughts and Things: I was a stay at home mom to my 3 kids with an occasional part time job thrown in. Now I guess I can call myself a stay at home grandma.
Tucked away in the back of my mind has always been the thought of have I done enough, given enough, been enough, not really ever knowing what enough is.
Today I apprehensively ventured out with my little grandaughter. Just a quick trip to the grocery store for hamburger buns, a stop by the fabric store, and to the cleaners. Exhausting is the word that comes to mind!
That was enough!
Raising children is enough!
It's more than enough!
Amen.....I have raised four being more than not a stay at home mom...and help with my grands as well...now,my health prevents me from keeping the little ones as much as I would like...but,I keep them enough to know to well the meaning of EXHAUSTING..smile...blessings to you...
ReplyDeleteI sure do love my grandkids but sometimes they wear me out! I guess being a mommy is for the young. Love that banner you're making. Mimi
