my "work space"

for desuprovidebit and home school work looks something like this...

on a good day.






but my real "work space" looks a little more like this













everyday, i wake up to these beautiful eyes.
i get to see the world through these eyes each and everyday!

everyday, i'm thankful.

thankful for the amazing gift i've been given....
the gift of being a mom!

my real job, everyday, is to form these little people.

i must form them into kind, loving and charitable souls.

its the most challenging job in the world, but the most rewarding!

so really,
on a good day...my work space may look nothing like i wish it would

i may have a sink full of dirty dishes,
my laundry pile may be taller than i am,
the floor might be covered in play dough,
and
dinner might be a little bit burnt

but

if i held my babies and wiped theie tears,
laughed at the silly faces they made,
taught them to love one another,
danced with them in the kitchen,
or
 held a hand while we looked out the window with fingerprints all over it...waiting for daddy to come home

then my "work space" was made a litttle more beautiful

and thats what really matters.

  2. Oh that's beautiful! Your workspace has beautiful eyes. And how can you not see God in those eyes!

    This is a great segue into my Mother's Day post, which is not completed yet. But my post is going to be about how becoming a mom opened the flood gates - of tears, that is. And reading a lovely post like this...brings tears to my eyes!
