Patriot Moms

I can remember as a second-grader riding the school bus to school, looking out the window in those cold, green seats and telling my big sister to "encourage me" about the day. She would always talk about how fast the day would go by, how fun recess would be, and before I knew it we would be on the bus again heading home. This was a daily conversation.

Little did I know that those words would still encourage me today. My encouragement to you is to keep perspective. Before we know it, these days of sitting with our children at a table for a few hours will be gone. (I get tears just typing that!)

Even on those "I am going to scream if you don't just hurry up and finish that handwriting page!" days, I am thankful that I get a few extra hours of life training in with my children before they head out the door to whatever God has planned for them. I want no regrets. So hang on sister!

Step back, take a deep breath and make the most of this short ride - before you know it, it'll be time to go home.

Enjoy your Spring Break with your precious children God gave you. Don't let a single moment go by without thanking Him for all of His blessings this week.
