Daughter Grace

I love my little girl. Don't get me wrong I adore my boys. All of them. But there is just something extra special about Hannah. Last night we were laying in bed together. She was watching Strawberry Shortcake and I was making out a grocery list. All of a sudden out of the blue she cuddled up to me and in the darkness whispered, "I love you. I could never get a better mom, cause you're the best" Her words penetrated my heart.
Day after day I seem to struggle through parenting. I try hard to be a good mom. But I feel so inadequate and sometimes question how in the world did God think I could possibly rear all these children. I yell. I holler. I vent. I talk too much. I don't really listen. I'm too busy. I'm quick to anger. I'm often selfish. But Hannah sees more than that. And for that I am thankful.
