My mom told me once that one thing that makes motherhood in general so hard is that the paybacks are few and far between...but they make it worth it. Today I experienced a payback. After the last three days being filled with tantrums and defiance from my beautiful two year old, I got to hear him pray for the first time without help from me or his dad. It went something like this:
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you for this day.
Thank you for baby brother.
Thank you for Daddy.
Thank you for Jeff and Nichole.
Thank you for Daddy.
Thank you for Mama.
Thank you for Daddy.
Thank you for this day.
In the name of Jesus...
Thank you I could take a nap today.
In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
It melted my heart! I loved that he was SO grateful for his daddy and that he wanted to pray all by himself! Also, I didn't realize he was missing his naps so much! I guess I can handle that!! Anyway, I so love my little boys! I'm so lucky to have them in my life and the paybacks definitely make the tantrums worth it.
