it's the little things

It's those little dear sweet things that my kiddos do.

It's the , "I love you", written in pencil on my kitchen table.
It's the hug i get for no reason.
It's the, "thank yous" after a meal.
It's those words, "you know how to cook so good"!
It's when my one son comes up to me and says out of the blue, " Jesus loves you, and Clayton loves you!"
It's when my eldest comes up to me and said," is there anything i can help you with?"
It's when 11 month old Anna is fussing in my arms , and a older sibling comes running up and says, "I'll take her!"
It's that little heart shape note with, " I love you", on it.
It's the "thank yous" i receive when i buy a little something for them for just because.
It's that pretty smile on Anna's sweet face.
It's the silly little things Sarah says to me when I lay down at night with her to put her to bed.
It's the hand drawn picture with, "I love God", printed on the bottom.
It's the, "I love you", written on the school page for me to see when i correct the school work.

It's all those little things all combined together that make the hard work of mothering all worth while. It's all those little things that bring true joy, and happiness. It's because of those things that make it easy for me to rise in the morning to face the new day, and a puts a smile on my face!
It's because of all those things that i can say , I am glad i am a MOM!!

In Him,
Mae
