My Two Angels


They say that times a great healer
But I don't think that's true.
My hearts been aching so much
Since the day that I lost you.

I had to say goodbye
before I could say hello
I wish I could of told you
How much I loved you so.

10 reasons why mothers love having children

I read this in the book "Be Fruitful and Multiply" by Nancy Campbell (it's actually called 101 reasons why mothers live having children but I only put the top 10) and wanted to post it here for encouragement to those with big families or soon to be big families.

1. We love receiving gifts and blessings from God.

2. Why would I ever want to turn down one if God's blessings.

3. We not only want to receive Gifts from God for ourselves, but we want to give more gifts to the world. Every child God gives us is a gift
To the world.

4. It is so exciting to see whom God will send to bless us each time.

5. I am honored for the Lord to use my womb again.

6. I love being "with child."

7. I love to see what God thinks of next. I believe each child is a precious and unique thought, with vast possibilities, straight from our
Heavenly Father. It is the most exciting thing in my life to give birth and see the new little person. There is nothing that moves me as
Much as seeing the birth of a baby.

8. I love to behold the handiwork of the Lord as a new little miracle comes forth.

9. The birth of a baby is the ultimate fulfillment of love between a husband and wife. Each child is an unbreakable bond between a father
And mother.

10. It is amazing to think that each child is a part of my beloved husband and me.

Prayer

As a mother of 10 I really need to make it a priority to get up in the morning and spend time with the Lord. I'm not naturally a patient women in fact I have struggled with being "high strung" all my life so when I became a mom it was not natural for me to show patience. I want to become the woman God designed me for and I know its to have a meek and quiet spirit, so how do I strive for that? By diving into the word and seeking the one who made me. He knows me inside and out! So having alone time with him is going to help me to stay focused on what really matters and not what the world says matters.
Philippians 4:6 says, "Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known unto God. And the peace of hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." I need this prayer time. I need peace in my heart, especially tonight when I look around and see all the things I did not accomplish today, but through prayer my eyes are opened and I see the things I did that mattered. Like teaching my 5 year old her vowels sound and finger painting apples on an apple tree, then hearing her say "I love dipping my fingers in the paint mommy."
"My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up." (Psalm 5:3). Do you? Do I? or do we only take time to shoot up flare request during each crisis that occurs during the day. How can I keep a record of God's answers to prayers in my life if i don't have a consistent time that I devote to the Lord.
Undisturbed time for prayer is the basis of my heart and mind being kept through Christ Jesus- truly a meek and quiet spirit!
