I just got done putting my son to bed. As I was doing it I was thinking of how much I enjoy putting my kids to bed! Having those quiet moments where we can talk about our day, and pray one last time together! I hope neither of them ever grow out of that! I am thankful for the two children the Lord has given me and Steve to raise! There was a time in my life where I wondered if I would ever have kids and if I would be a good mom! I have to admit sometimes I still wonder about the good mom thing, but God has taught me so much through my children. I will forever be grateful for his teaching me how to mother in a godly way!
I am thankful for the end of this day, and looking forward to the weekend. This week has been hard. There has been a spiritual battle going on in me this week! Satan has tried and sometimes succeeded in robbing me of my joy! God has shown me in so many ways that I have the power to over come! I spoke out against it, and Jesus has delivered the victory!!!!!
I'm thankful for Christian friends that encourage and admonish me. That give me hugs, and support, and give me scripture to claim! So many of you in blogdom have strengthened my walk with your words of hope and encouragement!
God bless you all tonight!

That time with your kids is precious. I know there were many times I was guilty of hurrying through it, because I had other things that need to be done, or I wanted some time to myself. Now I wish I could go back and have another bedtime. Enjoy them while you can!
I know it's late, but I'm glad you posted...
Yes, what sweet times with your children. Enjoy they grow up so fast.
Hope you have a better week ahead!
Blessings~
I am with ya sister. It has been a very long week. I am looking forward to a peaceful weekend. Take care.
Hope
May God always bless your sweet family my friend.
I too have had a very long week along with spiritual and emotional struggles. I know that God has BIG plans for those of us who struggle but yet find peace in Him! God never changes. What a comfort in knowing that.
Your words are very comforting for me this morning as I have been praying about things and almost let satan destroy my "JOY". Thank God I have overcome that. God is good! Thanks for such a great post! God Bless~
I miss those times at the end of the day to talk and pray with the kids. My youngest (16) rolls his eyes sometimes when I come into say goodnight, "sweet dreams" to him before I go to bed. He stays up later than me! LOL.
Kim,
Thank you so much for posting this today. It was perfect timing and a perfect reminder. I am embarrassed to say that I was a little frustrated last night putting the girls to bed, because they weren't getting there as quickly as I wanted.
Thank you for reminding me how precious those moments are and not to take them for granted.
Yes - Satan likes to discourage us, especially if we walk close to our Savior. But our Savior has the last word - that is comforting to me :)
Thank you so much for sharing your grateful heart with us this past week.
Blessings to you and your precious family.
