Little Things Make Me Happy....

The littlest things can make my day...

• Jordan asking, "Mommy can you come and cuddle with me?"
• At bedtime when everyone stays in their rooms and reads their books while I put each of their siblings to bed.
• When at bedtime Jordan says, "Mom come here I want to give you a big hug and then whispers in my ear, I love you and you are my best mom". That never gets old!  Makes all the guilt from earlier in the day disappear!
• Then he says don't read a book I want you to tell me a story. I love his imagination as we come up with a story together.
• When homework gets done without any grunts or whining. When I don't have to ask twice!
• When there is no fighting...and they really do love each other!
• At dinnertime when I give them something new to try and they eat it and actually like it and want more or become creative with it and make a sandwich out of it!
• When the toys are picked up and I didn't ask.
• When the dirty clothes from the day aren't on the bathroom floor but in the laundry basket.
• When the dog actually comes and sits on my lap and wants some love
• The quiet of the house (but secretly I don't mind the noise because one day it will be gone and be too quiet)
• When they discover a new talent or ability
• When they want to tell me all about their day at school and their friends and I listen intently because one day they won't be so forthcoming.
• A nap
• Having just a little time to either write or read

These are just some of the little things that can make my day and today was one of those days! We take the good and the bad and we keep on going because they are all worth every little ounce of my time! They are my joy!

Psalm 16:11 NIV

You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.

The path of my life has been and always will be with my family and they fill my life with so much joy and he has blessed me with this wonderful journey of motherhood and I don't take it lightly!
