Loving The Laughter In The Other Room




I sit here with a smile in my heart, and on my face.  I am listening to the sound of three very happy, content, spirited, and sweet boys playing with their dad.  Most of the time I take advantage of the sweet sounds around me.  Having three boys is often times more excitement than I can maintain.  I often mistake their playful laughter, for out of control hyperactivity.  As mom's we have a BIG job.  BIG jobs are not easy, and require a lot of time, concern, attention, discernment, and patience.  Only God gives me the strength, sensitivity, attentiveness, authority, and gentleness I need to raise these "wonderful" rambunctious boys.  I fail more than I achieve!  The laughter I hear at this moment tell's me that my boys know they're loved and protected.  I will continue to seek God's wisdom in this journey raising my boys.  Although I know guilt will desire to set root in my heart for what I do wrong.  I will remember this spirit, this laughter, and this moment.  I will remember God's love and the blessing of laughter in our home.
