I love my children so much. Today I was sitting in the bathroom brushing my hair and my heart just ached with how much I love them. I praise God that I am able to stay home with them and homeschool them. There is no way that I could send them away each day for so many hours. Earlier in the school year I was going through a dark time and thought about enrolling the boys. I just shutter now at the thought of what that would be like. I love how Ashton will still hold my hand in the store and that I get to teach him and watch him learn. Today I helped Landon wash his hands (he did not like this by the way) and I almost cried over how big those hands are getting! I have a very vivid memory of washing his hands in Hawaii when he was around 18 months and just falling in love with how those chubby, little dimpled hands looked. Now they are getting so big and the little dimples are going away.
Today Ashton told me that we should "make a store and get some dollars and pennies and take it to a country where they don't have a church and buy stuff to make one". How precious they are. He will be 6 in 12 days and I can hardly believe how fast the time has flown. These loans from God are only with us for such a precious little time. Please Lord, bless me with the wisdom to raise them to love and serve you all their lives! And may I savor and appreciate every day that you have gifted me with them. Amen
