A night out with my kids is like a wild roller coaster. There is never a dull moment. It always starts with the battle of who will sit in the front. Then there's the competition at the dinner table in the restaurant of who will tell me there story the loudest. We hit Win Dixie for some movie candy, and catch a movie I most likely will dread. Finally as we drive home I bask in the silence of one child out for the count and the other pondering what she will do with the Wii all to herself because her brother is in his 5th dream.
Ask me would i have it any other way NO! Ask me again! NO! I smile as i see them eat and hear there wonderful stories. I get to see there personalities. I warm up as i sit next to them in the movies, share candy and get to answer every question my son has about every scene. I feel so content to hear, in silence, the beating of my daughters heart and soft breathing of my son, sleeping in the back seat.
I am content to know that i am there Father, they my children. They are like God's way of saying here is my gift to you.
Another wild day in the books. Tomorrows another day and a hole new ride.
I can't wait!

Yep, I know the feeling. They can make you wanna pull out your hair with the bickering and disagreements then all of a sudden you hear them bust out laughing with the belly giggles. Some moents just take your breath away. It's like the other day we were in the back of discovery cove doing our prayer huddle and I was holding my kids hands and we were all praying. Then my 3 year old daughter looked up at me in the middle of the prayer and said,"Mommy, I love you." Just loud enough for everyone to hear. And you heard a few say AWW!! At that moment I realized yet again that I was hand picked by God to be their Mom and he waited till that exact moment in time to reinforce it.
