The things I am looking for are always there in front of me. They just come in packages I don't expect.
Trust = letting her chop the hotdogs with the sharp knife all by herself
Patience = letting him get his shoes on by himself
Joy = the mention of cake or snuggling or reading a book lights up their faces
Faith = allowing her to help me plant flowers, even if I might think she'll be too rough
Love = all I have to do is sit down and open my arms, and all of a sudden my lap is full
Hope = always on the lookout for these moments

I love this post Steph. You're such a good writer, I can always picture you on the farm writing with your beautiful family around you. : )
WHAT?! You let your daughter play with knives?!
PS - My word verification code was 'buctize.'
Your kids are perfect in that amazing way that kids are perfect. I love watching them be themselves. They are amazing. And they are so cool. Such great little people like you and Hubby! Thank you for letting me be a part of their lives!!
Friendship means always being there for each other and you do that for me!!
