Our Senior Moments…… 

September 22, 2013 

You carry these babies 9-10 months.  You rock them and nurse them and change their diapers.  You go without sleep and pray over their little heads as you take in the sweet, baby smell. 

You mold them and shape them and grow them to the very best of your ability. 

 

You share Barney, ABC’s, Bible Men 2 and Veggie Tales….. 

I am Mama to one daughter, twin boys and a baby in heaven we call Joseph. 

And, now…while my mothering may not be coming to an end….it is changing.  Sometimes, the change feels quick and abrupt.  Sometimes, it feels slow and even paced.  Mostly it just feels…. 

Different. 

Today, as we took my boy’s senior portraits, I saw men where boys once resided.  Where little hands used to be are now the hands which will rock my grandbabies, God willing…..And I am so grateful….so very, very grateful for this privilege of motherhood. 

It is a gift.  One which I appreciate as much as anything in my life. 

And, today, I was reminded…. 

Of how very blessed I am.
