As a mom, sometimes it's hard not to compare with other moms and their families, at least for me it is. I see other kids who have more of the latest and greatest than my kids do and I feel bad. As a parent you want to be able to provide your children with all that they desire. You want them to be happy and fit in with their friends. You want so much for them that even on an unlimited salary, it's almost impossible. So, I've decided to list the things that I do provide for them and it made me feel a whole lot better.
1. They have a home to go to to escape all the craziness of the world.
2. They have loving parents who are there for them to listen and guide them.
3. They have sufficient food, shelter and clothes to wear.
4. They are blessed with the gospel in their lives to guide them through tough times.
5. They have each other. Even though they drive themselves crazy sometimes, they also enjoy playing and fooling around and will always have the best of friends in their sisters and brother.
6. They are generally happy most of the time. Yeah, they might fight and argue occasionally, but they do not have major life problems to deal with such as having abusive or neglectful parents.
7. They are all very smart and independent.
8. They all have an awesome sense of humor which helps out, especially in tough times.
During this time of Thanksgiving I would be remiss if I did not express my gratitude for having been blessed with such awesome children and the things that I AM able to provide for them.
