Day Six - Thirty Days of Gratitude
Our daughter Elle (Elizabeth aka Noble) helped me tonight after finishing her day at work. We are moving from Minnesota to Iowa in two days and I needed help with the kitchen. Her work was much appreciated.
I love our five children and am so grateful for everything I've learned from them over the years. Motherhood is a crash course in character development. When we were homeschooling many other mothers commented, "Oh I wouldn't have the patience to do that." Well, let me tell you sister I didn't start out with the patience either, but it was either develop it or go to jail for crimes against children. I think I managed to develop some along the way. But along with character traits, I've learned about so many wonderful subjects because of the wide and varied interests of the five of them.
Our five have multiplied to eight as three have married, and then thirteen as five grandchildren have been added. What a blessing to have posterity! I hope it keeps growing.
