The Best Years of Your Life

As I neared college age, everyone always told me that college would be "the best years of your life." Although I would be lying if I said the past year hadn't been good, it wasn't college that made it so. I'm enjoying these years, but I'd like them to go by quite a bit faster because I've known what I wanted since I was three. And college isn't it.

Today is Mother's Day. My Facebook newsfeed has been filled with children wishing their moms a happy day, husband's praising their wife's mothering skills, and mother's rejoicing in their children. That's what I want. Because when these moms look back, they remember college fondly, but the best memories are of their husband and children. A friend on Facebook put it best, the three greatest events in my life, the ones I couldn't imagine life without - salvation, my marriage, my children.

So happy Mother's Day!! To my mom who rocks! To all the mothers who know their children are God's miracles! To the women who have no children of their own yet share their extra love with those who need it!

And to those who can't wait to be mothers saying "these are the best years of my life!"

Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: "Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all." Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.

Keep on singing,
