This weekend I attended my daughter's second wedding. It was very well done and everyone seemed to have a wonderful time. I am not really a person who does well in crowds and therefore I try and keep myself together, but I can not say I enjoy large events. I did enjoy seeing my children and my grandaughter. It is always delightful to see them.
AND it is delightful to also be at a time in my life that I get to enjoy being with my husband and I do not have to worry about what they are doing, because they are all grown up now. I have loved every stage of my life watching my children grow. That is not to say that some pain hasn't been involved, that starts the day I concieved. My pregnancy's were not really a breeze...but such wonder to see these wonderful human beings become. To see the creativity, anger, forgiveness, love that the children are capable of is amazing.
I was talking with someone this morning about how our children really belong to God and that we just have the joy of being a part of the process of growth and have a relationship with them. I just appreciate that the LORD allows us to be such an important part of that process. I am glad I understand things to be this way, because it has allowed me to be a parent that can watch my children soar! They are all so unique in thier own ways and are such great people. I think i have said it a thousand times, but it bears repeating, I love being a mother. It is the greatest gift.
