no greater joy

There is no greater joy than to be the mama to these 3 sweet kiddos.

I am far from the perfect mom.
Most days I mess up.  Ok, every day.
Some days and moments are completely and utterly embarrassing.
But they love me the same every day.

They forgive quickly.
They laugh a lot.
They love unconditionally.
They find joy in the smallest of things.
They keep me humble.
They say the sweetest prayers,
and their faith comes so easy.



I'm thankful for the lessons these 3 teach me every day.

There is no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.
3 John 1:4

This is my prayer.
And this is my motivation to train them up in the ways of the Lord now.
One day they will be gone.
To kindergarten, and then to college.

I will mess up a ton more along the way.  I'll fail at many things.
But by God's grace only, we will all come out on other side,
more like Him.

Happy Mother's Day to all of you moms!

You are so right!! Mother's day has taken on a special new meaning for me this year - I'm sure Rebekah can relate! Love your pics. The kiddos are precious. We are so excited for Dave (and all of you) with his upcoming trip. You're all in our prayers. Awesome to see the great example of faith you two set for your kids, way to go!
