Embracing motherhood

I found this poem and wanted to share it with my mothering friends.

Embracing Motherhood
I’d rather sing a lullaby, late into the night than live a life of luxury, donning jewels so bright. I’d rather wipe a tear, and kiss away the pain than come home to an empty house, feeling lonely again. I’d rather invest in diapers and clothes that wear too fast than prove our prestige and wealth in things that just don’t last. I’d rather be a Mom; no greater job there is. Each child is a blessing, because each child is His.


How grateful I am to be having another child and I hope I can dedicate my life to raising my family unto the Lord.

Nice post - I agree! When do you find out what you are having? What school will Ryan teach at?

That is so sweet and so true. Now that my kids are reaching the teenage years I have found that raisng children are the hardest but most rewarding thing.
