Don't Forget to Play

In the craziness and the chaos of motherhood never forget to enjoy it. So many times I get so caught up in the chore of life and mothering I forget to play. It is so important that I bless my children in spending time enjoying them, so in return they will bless me. There is a scripture in the bible that says "Her children rise up and call her blessed." Proverbs 31:28 If we sit down and enjoy some of our time playing with them we are blessing them. I can tell you the other day I sat at the table with my kids and we colored and played with stickers and you would have thought it was Christmas at our house! They were so happy to see me coloring with them. I was blessing them and in return I was being blessed. Sometimes we need to just put down the dishes and not worry about dinner or laundry right then and sit down and play. The chores will always be there but your children won't. I have heard it best said by my mother whom was the mother of 3, "I would do anything just to hold my children in my lap and rock them." I think we forget that all kids get older and one day we will not have these moments to play, rock or teach them. It starts now. Enjoy everyday God has given you with them and don't forget to PLAY!!!
