The JOYS of being a mom

We just got back from a week at Disneyland with our three precious girls. OOOOOHHHHhhhh how WONDERFUL our time was! I can guarntee Disneyland would not been even a fraction as much fun if hubby and I had done it by our lonesomes. The joy and wonder on our children's faces made it a WONDERFUL time! At the end of the fireworks show, my oldest commented "Momma, this was the happiest day ever!" On our way back for a second day at Disneyland, my youngest started screaming "OH YEAH OH YEAH OH YEAH THANK YOU MOMMY!"

This isn't a plug for Disneyland. But it is a reminder to myself of how important having JOY in my children is. Something the Pearl's talk about over and over and OVER again (and yet I am still learning the HOW to of it) is the JOY of being a mom. I want to hear those words everyday!

I recently read an arcitle by Mr. Pearl which talks about Love is Loving What They Love. I highly encourage every mom (and dad) to read this article. It is very convicting.

So today we brought out the "Princess" box. My daughters dressed up like princesses and we danced and laughed. To me, it was the best day ever!
