Not quite a memory, but just a random blog

Tonight I kissed my children goodnight. I kissed their heads gently and softly whispered, "I love you." I caressed their baby soft faces and soaked in the moment.

Ohhhh, how I love these children! They are my everything!

They have been testing the waters lately. Having a bit of sibling rivalry. Talking back just a little bit more. Trying to see what our reactions might be. We are frustrated. We are trying to be patient. We are trying to be consistent. But, oh is it ever hard, challenging and frustrating.

We love these children with all of our hearts and we are trying to train them to go out into the world. We want them to be good citizens. We want them to be respectful. We want them to love, to care and to be thoughtful.

"Dear Lord, please help us get through this trying time. Help us to train our children in the way that they should go. Guide us. Teach us. Give us patience."

Tonight I kissed my children goodnight and thanked the Lord for another wonderful day!
