How will they remember

Just the other night I was reading Jack a new bedtime story. I had found the book at a tag sale earlier that week. I love reading the author's dedication in the front of the book. This author thanked her mother who "loved unselfishly and was full of joy." I thought what an awesome way to be remembered by your children.

I want to be that kind of mom. A mom who loves my children unselfishly and is filled with great joy. Not a perfect mom, but a mom who is full of grace. A mom who fully realizes the awesome privledge to raise little ones.

So true!I know that I want to be full of grace and joy at all times too - so that my attitude may point others towards Jesus. But oh how I need to pray for this as it doesn't come naturally! Hope you all are doing well, you're in my prayers.
