A Mother's Love

The job of a mother is never done and her love grows as her children do. Raising my three children is full of it's own set of challenges and rewards. I can't speak for anyone else only my own experiences, but sometimes motherhood is really hard. The constant sharing of attention between those who want it and those who need it. Choosing who to go to first when all three are crying or which twin to feed first when I know they are both hungry. But for each scheduling or physical challenge placed in front of me a greater reward will be waiting for me when I finish. Sometimes those rewards are small like a smile or a giggle other times they are bigger, like being told what a great cook I am after dinner. The best thing that my children have done and I pray will continue to do is light up when they here my voice or see me enter a room. I imagine that is what movie stars feel when they step on stage at an awards show. The elation in their eyes when they see me first thing in the morning or when I give them their goodnight kisses, it takes my breath away. In those moments I feel like I'm on top of the world, they make all the difficulties worth while. I would take a million hard days just so I could get those looks again and again.
