I originally was going to name this post proud mommy moments, but what I actually feel is joy. I am very appreciative of the moments the girls help me escape from a not so great feeling whether it is a overwhelming feeling or during a time I am on the verge of becoming angry. They may not know what power their actions or words may have, but for me at those particular times a small gesture goes a long way.
Here are a few recent gestures:
Yesterday started off well. I had to run a few errands before we began our lessons, and during this errand run I was met with disappointment. This disappointment was tempted to turn into anger. Angry because my day was going to be thrown off. As I was calming myself, Dania looks at me, and points her index and middle fingers towards her eyes and back at me then she says "Focus". At that moment, all my tension left and I was actually able to focus on what was before me. She said just what I needed to hear.
A few evenings ago, Ramya was preparing to brush her teeth. Lately, she has needed someone to be with her in each room she enters. She asks her sister to stay in the bathroom with her. Dania calmly told her "You don't need me. You have Jesus in your heart, don't be afraid." Ramya went on to brush her teeth, and a few moments later Dania went into the bathroom with her.
Those are just a few moments that stuck with me from this week. On a daily occassion I am met with wonderful hugs and words of encouragement from our little blessings. For all these moments, I am thankful.
Have a blessed day!
