A Wife Loved Like The Church

It’s hard being a mama. And some days I can focus too much on the hardness, and forget just how amazing this journey is. Being in Texas I had the chance to remember all the reasons why I love being a mama to my two precious girls. There are plenty more than I listed, but here are my current top ten:

1. Laughter. There is nothing so amazing as hearing my daughters laugh.

2. Walking into the kitchen to find Julia eating cooking dough straight out of the bowl.

3. Hannah’s tight hugs right before bedtime.

4. Julia’s inquisitiveness about everything.

5. All the dancing and twirling that comes with young girls.

6. Squeals of excitement each time Jonathan comes home from work.

7. Requests for “snuggles and kisses”.

8. Julia’s confidence that she is loved.

9. Hearing “Jack! Jack!” followed by giggling, running and laughter.

10. Sisterhood. A bond that is beautiful and wonderful to see grow.
