I am convinced that one of life's greatest blessings is to have a child, for so many reasons. It is so easy, the older we get, to get so caught up in our day to day activities and to take so much for granted. But having a child has allowed me to find joy in the little things, the mundane, routine, seen-it-a-million-times things.
On the way home from a shopping trip recently, my son commented on how pretty the changing leaves were and talked endlessly about all the different colors. Sure, I enjoy the beauty that fall brings us, but I don't get overly excited about. I don't look at it with total wonderment. But my son's enthusiasm and childlike wonder helped me to take a step back and think about (and appreciate) how beautiful and amazing God's creation truly is.
Sincerely,
The-M-O-M
