Thankfulness Day 2
I am thankful for my boys. That is a no brainier I know a mom is supposed to love their kids but I really love my children. Even with all their idiosyncrasies, they are a part of who I am. Those strange behaviors are because of how I raised them, their environment and as well as our shared genetics. So I have nothing or no one else to blame when they are stubborn and argumentative as their mother.HA! I like seeing how they have grown to be such strong minded individuals. One gift I am trying to teach my kids is to think for themselves and seek truth.
I had a long conversation one night about several topics on everything in life from marriage to birth. I got some very interesting answers and was surprised how clear they thought about their positions. I won’t say what they thought but it did not necessary correspond with my own belief system. I don’t mind since I want them to come up with their own answers. I tell them what I believe and why and so does their daddy. This is how I believe God lets us decide.
Yet they are open to listen to me and I like to keep communications open.
I love them and they give me meaning to my boring life. I know I won’t have them forever at home to care for but I am thankful I have them today.
Do you have family members you cannot imagine not having in your life?

I can’t imagine lift without my dreamer boy, my little work horse boy, and my “little me” girl. Whether born of my womb or of my heart my life just wouldn’t be the same without my three children!
They have done studies on identical twins separated from birth and the findings is interesting.
I will one of these days see my daughters and notice them up close. It will be hard to separate my personal biases and notice some of their personalities that developed without their father. (the scientific side of myself)
What a cute picture of your son. Too bad we can’t freeze that sort of personality forever…….
