Motherment

The greatest life wonderment
As far as I'm concerned is “Motherment.” 

No, don't go check the dictionary
You won't find it, it's my vocabulary.

There's nothing more beautiful in this world
Than being a mother.

Nothing that makes me know I'm God's daughter
Better than being a mother.

I am so blessed He gave me six beautiful children
Something I could not have done without their father.

Even though he is a complete jerk (smile)
Through him I became a mother.

And I love him for that amazing grace
Of anger and fear no longer a trace.

Being the mother of these beautiful children
Is the best accomplishment I could render.

Ah, to be so blessed with six children -- beautiful tribute to them, Caroline! I did have a chuckle about doing "without their father," but it is our Father in heaven who sent these little ones to you. A joy to read, dear! Love, Carolyn

Nurturing motherhood..... ahhh a true gift and proof of the nurturing Love of the Almighty and that Almighty is Love itself. Always nice to see someone who is grateful and recognizes how special that is, Caroline. Thanks you for sharing this important message. and thanks for your comment. Been hanging in there but not doing much on the soup. Time is a factor of late. God bless you and yours
