Happy New Year!

As with each start of each new year, I am overwhelmed with the feeling of responsibility. The feeling comes when I look into the faces of each of my children. This year I have a few "goals" in mind… I want to be a better mom ( who doesn't), slow to anger (and yell😕😬) and fast to love (❤️love always, kiss them, hug them, tell them how special they are) I pray that I am reminded daily of how fast my time with them is passing and that before I know it I'll be kissing my baby goodbye as she sets off on a life of her own! It will be the saddest and most happiest day of my life! I pray that I will rest in the knowledge that I have done the best that I can equipping and enabling them to step out on their own, to live lives of faith, service, and dedication to Him. This year I want my actions to show my faith in deeper ways to each of my children. I want them to see that I live what I say. This is my fresh start!!!! Lord remind me that little eyes are watching and that I'm the only Jesus some will ever see!
