Do you look at them that way? We certainly do! It may not always seem that way when you are raising them and you are tired and agitated or at your wit’s end. But through it all, you wouldn’t trade them for anything or anyone in the world. They are a reward from God and the most precious thing you could ever hope for. If you have small children or babies now, just trust me when I tell you that you will look back and wish for these days again.
I love my children even more now than then, if that could be possible. Not just because they have given me the most beautiful and wonderful grandchildren in the world, but because I love and appreciate all three of them on a whole new and different level. They have the tenderest of hearts and they love people and love God. Do they do everything the way I would do it? No! They are not robots that I created. Do I do everything the way God would do it? No! I am not a robot that he created. Am I proud of them? You bet I am!
I am so thankful for all three of my children and all of my grandchildren. I love each and every moment I get to spend with them and I cannot wait until I get to move closer and spend more time with them. I am truly blessed!
Psalms 127:3 (NLT) - “Children are a gift from the LORD; they are a reward from him.”
