This is Motherhood!

PRAISE THE LORD for Motrin & Tylenol. They are an invention that the Lord must have had his hand on the entire time they were being discovered & put together.... because they makes a very high fever go away in a 2 year old who has the flu. Not to mention it gives peace of mind to the mother who weeps with her child as she holds his hot little body in her arms.

I never knew the pain and agony a mother goes through when her child is sick. I never knew the helplessness a mother feels when there is nothing you can do but say "you're gonna be alright, momma's got you." I never knew the comfort a mother would get when her child clings tight to her neck as she rocks him back to sleep in the wee hours of the morning. And I never knew the joy a mother would have when her sweaty child's fever breaks.
I am learning that these are the things that no one tells you about, but are the experiences that the Lord uses to form you into a mother. The things that at times are painful, but that are such a blessed reward down the road. THIS IS MOTHERHOOD!
We mothers are SO BLESSED to have this opportunity! I Praise you Lord, Thank you!

We are bleesed with a most high calling from God. I am so called your son is doing better. A love for a child is like no other. I honestly can say there is no one on this earth I love more than my son. He is 12 now, but we still have those moments. His last one was when I just quite my job full of negativity and he said "Mom I am so proud of you." Sweet.
