Three little brothers sitting on the couch, one fell off and he screamed, "Ouch!" Brother called for Mama, "waaa waa wee!" Mama made it better with kiss on his knee.

Every day my son Lincoln bumps into something. He's in that stage I guess and his balance is not very, well....... balanced! :) My favorite thing about him is that whenever he gets hurt, whether it be a tiny bump, or a more impressive crash, one magic little kiss from me makes it better every time! For some reason these accidents tend to occur at moments when I feel fed up with cleaning and managing my household. What a sweet little reminder that I make a difference! Many people may not feel that being a mother is a rewarding venture, but I would have to disagree. Though they may be demanding children today, they will grow to be adults some day. They will not be little forever. Some of them will likely become leaders in their different destinations, and for some reason God believes I am worthy and capable enough to teach them. I look at my sons and feel real joy, because I know that when they look at me, they feel safe, and eager to learn and grow in this ever changing, and often frightening world. I know I will not always be able to kiss away their fears, but for now, I am here.
