I had a great run today. 12 minute mile pace finally felt EASY like it used to. That was miraculous for me. I was beginning to wonder if it would ever feel easy again and if I would recover okay on the sleep I've been getting. William was blessed yesterday. It was the most beautiful blessing I've ever heard and really it wasn't because it was my own child. The sister teaching Sunday School said at the beginning of class that she still needed to compose herself. She had wept during the blessing and the strange thing is that she said she has never cried at any blessing except that of her own children. She is in her 60's and has been to many. It makes me wonder what special child I have been chosen to raise...it changed my perspective on my mothering and made me feel the responsibility I have to make sure these children leave my home as spiritual as they came to me. |
