Why I'm Glad I'm a Mom.... (and a mom of twins at that!)
I am glad I'm a mom because:

• I get double the love, hugs, and kisses!
• I love hearing the little pitter patter of their feet as they play around the house...
• I love playing tickle and hearing their laughter...
• I love lazy days of just playing outside with my boys...
• I love tight hugs around my neck, when they hug me so tight and say "Mommy, I never let you go!"
• I am the one they want to comfort them when they are hurt, sad, or sick...
• Sometimes they tell me "Mommy, you are so cute!"
• I treasure seeing the excitement and joy in their eyes when they experience and learn new things...
• It blesses my heart to hear them sing praise songs while they play, just because they are in their heart!
• I get to tell them about Jesus and His love for them!
• I get to see how excited they are when Daddy comes home!
• I enjoy sitting back and being a spectator as they have fun and laugh with their Daddy.
• We get to go do fun things while Daddy works, like go to the zoo, park, lake, storytime, ...
• I like to have them sit in my lap while I read the same book over, and over, and over...
• They like to play beauty shop and make me pretty for when Daddy comes home!
• It gives me someone to take pictures of and make scrapbooks of!
• I get to cry tears of joy as I see them participate in cute little programs!
• I have the privilege of praying over and for them daily...
• Of the joy I have when I hear them talking about God and wanting to pray to Him for themselves and for others...
• Of the precious way they say the blessing at our meals, and sometimes rather loudly in restaurants so that everyone looks!
• And because I love to hear them say, "Mommy, I love you too!"

Well, I could go on and on, but I will stop here, you might get tired of reading. So, if you are a mom, tell me what makes you glad about being a mom, I would love to hear!
