Why I love being a Mommy....

I recently read a MOPS newsletter, and the author had been encouraged, after a discouraging day, to make a list about why she loved being a mommy. I thought that was a great idea, so here is my list:

• Snuggling
• Toddler smoochies
• Giggles and smiles
• Reading books
• Having an excuse to play at the playground
• Seeing the world through new eyes
• New insights into God's love, patience and grace
• The sounds of my husband and son laughing and playing together
• Newfound discipline and self-sacrifice
• Built in activity during otherwise uncomfortable gatherings! :)
• Pushing myself to be more social and more active
• Seemingly miraculous powers to heal and to comfort
• Cool toys to play with
• The joy of blowing bubbles during bath and play time
