A Momma's Love

I was blessed to have my father in my life since I was born.  My children are blessed with the presence of their father.  However, not everyone can say the same.  More than 20 million children are growing up without their biological fathers in their lives.  This saddens me.  A parents role in their children's lives is to love, teach, nurture and model for their children.  In my opinion this is best done as a team.  Sometimes this has to be done by one parent alone,  but that is alot for one person to handle.  So, if your child doesn't have 2 parents in their life, don't panic.  Know that there are people to assist them.  It still takes a village to raise a child.  Good role models are important.  People who love children unconditionally.  Teach them morals, respect, good work ethic, and tell them of God's love for them.  This does not have to be a job of a parent....it could be teacher, a neighbor, an aunt or uncle, a grandparent.  Model these for the children of today

Wowsa! Where has the time gone?  3 months ago you graced us with your arrival.  When your mommy told me she was pregnant, I was overjoyed!  I watched her grow and change as time went by as you grew inside of her.  She was nervous that she was not gonna be the mommy you needed.  She was wrong!  She is so patient and loving with you.  I love to watch her Interact with you. The smiles you bring to her face.. Enough about your mommy, now about you.  When I first held you in my arms, I fell in love again.  I love to watch you sleep, I love your smile.  You started out soo little but are growing so much!  I am amazed everytime I see you.  Changing so quick! You are starting to interact with your world more and more every day.  I look forward to seeing you achieve your upcoming milestones.  I look forward to the days you will reach for me or crawl towards me when we are playing.  Bruce James you are my first grandchild and no matter how many siblings or cousins you have, you are the one tha

Who do you draw strength from in your time of need?  Just like this cucumber reached out to anchor itself to the tomato cage near it as it grows, we need to anchor ourselves as well.  Psalm 25:5 says "Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are my God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long." Hebrews 6:19 "We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. " God is my anchor when I feel weak.  HE is who I reach out to for comfort, peace, hope and more.  Hr is who I call out to, and who I sing to in my joy.  Who do you call out to? Who or what are you anchored to?  Take some time to reflect on this today and see if you need a new anchor in your life.
