What a Time!
What a Time!
“Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him.” Psalm 127:3 NIV
Can you guess what I will be writing about today? You guessed it, my visit to see my beautiful daughter Cherelle.
The chatter, the eating, the laughing, more eating, more chatter, more laughter, lots of great music as we drive to multiple locations, like these cool record shops, retro clothing stores, HEB grocery store which happens to be her favorite place to shop. It’s a big grocery store. We went on her live, talking about life, music, and the things that hold us together. She took the time to encourage others to check me out on my channels and to by my books. Let’s not forget we walked the dogs, and watching her superman show, Smallville. It is actually pretty good.
Before dozing off at the end of a fun mother/daughter day, I reflect on the fact that I didn’t do everything right; I made mistakes along the way; there wasn’t any how to be a mommy books around. But I thank God that he was around keeping us safe. And when I look into your eyes, I see all those possibilities come alive, living in and through you. And then I think to myself, not bad momma, not bad at all.
The scripture today is a reminder that our children are a reward from God. Sometimes you might not think so with those terrible twos and rambunctious teenage years. And then one day you look up, and your baby is all grown up, spreading their wings as they make the world. As parents we give thanks for the gifts of our children.
I know what my daughter does for me. She lifts me up, encourages me, and reminds me I can do anything I put my mind too. We are each others cheerleader. She makes me smile in my heart, and I am so proud of all of her accomplishments. We share how are day is going and talk about what’s going on in the world. Yes you’re a homebody for now, but it won’t always be that way. Your knight in shining armor will come your way. But in the meantime beautiful daughter stay focus on your goals. Continue to protect your peace and love your Kingdom (those are her pets. Two dogs and a cat).
I can’t wait for the next visit, let’s start things off right with Friday, Saturday, and then I head back home after our Sunday brunch. Love Momma.
Remember friends, we are each other’s keeper and the only time we should be looking down on someone is when we are helping them up.
