Many moms, me included, complain at times at the life we are called to lead as "stay-at-home moms". There has been more than one occasion that I have prayed for more in my life, had wished that there was more to my life than tending four kids. But tonight after reading these blogs http://adailyscoop.blogspot.com/ , http://dbkunz.blogspot.com/ I'll be on my knees thanking my Father in Heaven that tomorrow morning will find Jack coming into my room at 6:15am. I'll thank my Father in Heaven for the fact that I won't be able to go back to sleep because for the next thirty minutes or so Jack will carry on a conversation with his hands. Right when I think this conversation is over and I just might get back to sleep, I'll have to say another prayer of gratitude for the "Ma" I hear coming from the crib in the next room. Asher is awake and the first thing he'll want is me. Not long after this pray is complete. I'll have another conversation with the Lord and thank Him for the two little girls who just climbed in bed with me. I'll keep that prayer in my heart even when they fight over the covers and push their little brother out of the way so that they can have their backs rubbed.
Instead of praying to make it through the day tomorrow, I'll thank my Heavenly Father because I stumbled upon a blog which made me grateful to be a mother of four.

Oh, man. Thank you for that link. I have been reading and sobbing for over an hour, and am absolutely inspired to love my children better.
Surely makes the day to day frustrations seem so meaningless. Every picture I see of Asher reminds me that Kevin & Paula's little Sawyer should be three weeks older. Love to you and each of those little blessings that light up my day each and every time I see a picture, think of them, or listen to the message they left singing High School Musical!
I knew I shouldn't have but I went to the blog anyway. How grateful it made me to have an amazing, healthy and happy daughter. Thank you for making me stop and think and realize even when things don't seem so good that I am truly blessed. I love you and miss you and your babies so much. Please tell them how much their Aunt Carla loves them
