Ponderings of a MeMe’s heart

Last night I watched the Republican National Convention and I appreciated the speech by Sarah Palin- I thought she was articulate and gave an eloquent speech with great points. I already was a McCain-Palin supporter as I shared before. My favorite part, a part I found so tender and a picture of the love that Sarah has shown her children came from Piper. This in no way has bearing on her ability to run a country, but is a picture of her as a loving mother who’s taught her daughter love and caring.

Now my ponderings of a more personal nature-

I have always thought that one of the most important things I could do in this life is raise my children to be responsible Christian  good adults. It has not always been easy and they are still works in progress as I am. One constant throughout my ordeal as a Mother has been the relationship I have with my  heavenly Father- I can remember dedicating my children to Him.  I remember believing and having Faith that God is the only one who loves my children more than me and when I turn them over to his safekeeping hand they are held much better and safer than with me.

It is a wonderful thing to see the joys of accomplishments come as a parent, like seeing your child with children of their own and seeing them mature and make wiser decisions. I am thankful for my children. I am proud of them. Each one special in their own way.

My oldest-Mommy Girl- is pregnant with girl #3 and I love seeing her with her girls. She is the best Mom.  She always had a mothers heart. It’s a beautiful thing to see her with them. She is doing a far better job than she even realizes.

My son-Bubby- I have always called him that. He was a remarkable son and now he is a wonderful Father. He loves his son so much and is very much a hands-on Daddy. He’s already teaching Ryder to love music.

Last, but never least to me is LULU-My Bama Princess.

She is  working toward one dream and goal –to complete a good education. She’s funny- over sensitive, big-hearted and a survivor like her Mother. That which doesn’t break us makes us stronger. I can’t wait to see what wonderful things God has in store for her. I can’t wait for her to realize He is her first and best love.

Today I read a sweet birthday wish and I cried. I also began my ponderings- have I done enough, do my children know how much I love them, if I were gone would I have shared joy with them? Deep stuff for this Thursday. I pray I’ve shown them God and His love. I pray I’ve shown them mine unconditionally.  Today like all the other days before, I leave them in the wonderful capable hands of the one who loves them with a Mighty love- Our Awesome God.

Children love your parents- parents love your children.

Be blessed!
