The other morning I fell yet again.<\/p>\n

It was the one day of the month when parents can walk their children to their classrooms, see their artwork and help them unpack and get ready for their school day.<\/p>\n

The girls were eating slow, laughing a lot and having a ball at breakfast. \u00a0I interrupted their little party to tell them them to hurry up. \u00a0It didn’t phase them, they kept enjoying their breakfast and each others company. \u00a0I rushed them again and again they continued to slowly enjoy their breakfast and their sweet little jokes. \u00a0Then I continued complaining about the fact that we were leaving 10 min later than I wanted to leave while brushing their teeth, getting their socks on and urging them into their shoes. \u00a0At one point I asked my youngest to please put her shoes on and she started laughing at me and told me that I had already put them on for her.<\/p>\n

When we finally arrived at school, I realized that we had forgotten their folders. \u00a0My sweet oldest was finally upset. \u00a0She is so studious and organized and was very upset about coming to school without her folder. \u00a0I felt so bad, but even in the midst of my guilt I didn’t say the right thing.<\/p>\n

After getting them to their rooms, I ran home to get their folders. \u00a0I then waited at the office while my oldest came to pick up her folder and I finally apologized for being so impatient earlier that morning.<\/p>\n

As we hugged she whispered “I forgive you” into my ear.<\/p>\n

I think I have finally realized that God did not make me the mother of these three sweet little blessings because of anything I have done, but instead because how strong they are to withstand all of my mistakes and because of everything I still have to learn about patience, goodness, forgiveness and love from them.<\/p>\n

God thank You for Your forgiveness every time I fall and\u00a0thank You for these three blessings in my life who so willingly forgive me as You do!<\/p>\n

Please continue to open my eyes to all of their wonderful teachings and keep reminding me to slow down and take everything one moment at a time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
