Mother's Day Reflection

I had a great day on Mother's Day. Aiden had made a card at school that literally made me cry. He is so sweet. Each night when I say my prayers I ask God to help me to be a Godly mother and I pray that my children will grow up to be Godly children, teenagers, young adults, etc. But, the other day as I was praying, it hit me like a ton of bricks that no matter what I try to make my children into, they are going to be likely to take on my traits, Rick's traits. They look up to us, mock us, pretend to be us! So, if I am Godly and present a Godly attitude all the time, then hopefully they will choose to follow in my footsteps. What a huge responsibility we have for not only ourselves, but especially our children.
