Harryism and Mommyisms

After praying:
"God made me Mommy!"
"God gave me to you?"
The way he said this was so innocent and sweet! 
Teaching Harry about God has been one of my favorite teaching experiences ever!  I have taught ever age from the babies to adult learners and I have never felt the reward I feel when Harry shows me what he has learned.  I know he has not learned it all from me but, the fact that he is learning about the world and soaking it all in is a learning experience for me!

I was on the phone with Kathy Friday morning and I told her I was needing a Target trip.  That afternoon we were going home from playgroup and Harry said, "Mommy, you need a Target trip."  Guess where we went?
I feel cliche to say but, the last few months have been some of the best days of my life. I have been learning so much about God's plan for me. I have been my kid's mom.  I have always treasured my time with them but, I have taken off my desire to please others and it has benefited me.  I found I was putting energy into people and things that never appreciated that energy and I was not growing!  I am blessed to be surrounded by people who fill my bucket and I pray that He gives me opportunities to fill other buckets!  I pray that my kids learn to be bucket fillers! If Harry knows I want to go to Target, what else does he know!!  Oh the lessons I am learning!
