"Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realise they were the big things." - Robert Brault
Mother Moment – Enjoy the Process
Make up your mind to enjoy the process of bringing up children. Find ways to have fun. Keep an eye on the 'Big Picture' of family.
Enjoy each other. Be best friends with your spouse. Be a loving, caring parent for your child/ren. Encourage your children to have good friends and build good supportive friendships for yourselves as adults and parents.
Yes, there will be hard times, tiring times, stop-the-world-I-want-to-get-off times. There will be sickness, tantrums, noise, mess … but, breathe deeply and exhale, there is a way through this. And there is a way to bring joy and enjoyment into all situations.
Mum, it is largely you that is the architect of the (physical, emotional, spiritual) environment of your home. How will you do this? Maybe ...
¬ Have a routine in your home for eating, sleeping, and playing.
¬ Create quiet times and places for everyone.
¬ Keep centred on what is important for you.
¬ Look for (and create) the fun and enjoyment.
Mother's Heart
May I be the best woman, wife, and mother that I can be in front of my children – and live life fully.
