Surprises Along The Way
As a child I can always remember my mother saying, “When you
look for the little surprises in life it can help you get through each
day.” Now a mother myself I know what she meant. Although
motherhood can be wonderful, it can often be less than glamorous
especially when you are faced with the routine tasks of life like
laundry, dishes, runny noses and potty breaks. I’ll admit
that I can easily lose sight of how much I really do matter to my
family. On one particular afternoon my husband was outside with our
children while I was inside preparing dinner. I couldn’t help
but feel a little resentful that I couldn’t be a part of the
“fun.” It seems like too often I’m a part
of the “work.” As I was cooking, I heard the door
swing open and in walked my son. He was sweaty and dirty from playing
in the yard. “Mommy this is for you,” he said as he
handed me a purple flower (actually a weed) that he had picked outside.
“I know you love flowers Mommy,” he said as he
slammed the door shut again. His little surprise for me interrupted my
uneventful day and reminded me of the difference we as moms can and do
make in the lives of our family.
