Dear Children

I'm adding this song to this blog because I want you to listen to it and I want you to realize, you only get one shot at this life. Life isn't easy children, it wont all be a bed of roses, it wont all be sunshine, I wish that I could tell you that but as your mother I have to be honest with you because that is what I want, crave and need from you and I hope that even though my life hasn't always been a reflection of God or Godly things I hope that you will see now the changes I have made and are trying to make in my life. I hope that you see Christ's love in me and I hope that I am a better example than what I use to be. I have never hid my flaws from you, you are the ones who probably know more about me than anyone else on this earth and I pray that you will learn from where I was wrong. I want you to know that though things may go wrong and you may mess up God loves you and I love you and we both only want you to do your best with this life. When things go wrong find the good, when the sun is behind the clouds find a bright spot, instead of counting your problems count your blessings. When people look at you my babies I want them to see goodness in you! When you look at yourself I want you to see the person I know you are and can be and I want you to know that I as your mother love you tremendously and when you feel that I am breathing down your neck about something it's only because I worry about you and I care about you and I know what you are capable of not because I'm some mean woman who wants to ruin your life or ruin your fun oh contrary my dears I want the best for you I want you to be your best I want you. One day when your are truly all grown up and have children of your own you will know the worry of a mother's heart, how we hope and how we pray, how we only want you to do your best. How I hope that you will know that though my path once left God's graces that was my choice not his, through every trail I have faced he was there waiting on me to ask him for his guidance and help I was only too stubborn and hard headed to turn to him and ask. Even though I was stubborn and hard headed it taught me lessons I needed and that I can use to help myself and hopefully help others including you when you need guidance. Hopefully it can be used to God's glory. I love you all,make the best out of this life we have serve God, don't hate, don't lie, don't spread hatefulness spread peacefulness, don't hurt others. Be a blessing to others that you cross paths with, when others hurt you reach deep down and pull out the love of Christ and forgive them. Don't ever be bitter just be better!
Love, Your Mom
