It was a
day that I will forever be etched into my being. My husband was out of
town for several days visiting his mother and I was parenting my two
children solo. After three days of embracing high drama, soothing
explosive emotions, and relaxing righteous indignation, I was exhausted.
Feeling
both physically and emotionally drained I put my children to bed and sat
down to meditate and pray. As I melted into the silence I was surrounded
by a blissful connection to the creator. I felt my life force reignite
and my energy restored. In my mind I asked God what I needed to learn to
parent my children. The guidance that followed was surely a message from
every child. I share these words to help you see the beauty and the
innocence in your children. Here are the words that were shared with me.
When
you look at me
Remember
how small I really am
Remember how I make you feel when I hug you
Remember how I can melt your heart with love
When
you lose your patience
Remember,
my hands need to explore
Remember, my mind needs to ask questions
Remember,
my soul needs your attention
When
the world seems overwhelming
Remember
to teach me about God's love
Remember to teach about kindness to others
Remember to teach me that I can make a difference in this world
When we
are together
Remember
to laugh with me
Remember to cry with me
Remember to celebrate life with me
When we
disagree
Remember,
I have lessons to learn
Remember, you have lessons to learn also
Remember, I am a blessing
But most
importantly at every moment
Remember how very much I love you
Enjoy your
children and the wonderful gifts they bring into your life.
