My girls were singing
"Jesus Loves Me" (kids version) last night during bath time. I
was in the bathroom but not listening completely, kinda day dreaming like I tend
to do. I can get distracted easily. Then I heard them singing the words as I focused more. At that moment, I
thought... they are listening to me at night. They understand or they just like
the song. We started singing this song this week. I try to do
a new song each week (((well we are starting))). Mostly with meaning
connected to the bible. I teach them about God and my Mom often and all
their family up in Heaven. How important Jesus is and what he does for our family. Hearing them sing
how much Jesus loves them made me tear up a little. Just a song but with so much
meaning for this Mommy.
Something to remember.
Kirra asks me often if I miss my Mommy? Some would say it's too much for a 3 yr old to know and why would I talk about something like that? Some have never had their Mom pass away. Some don't understand we can't go to Grandma Ruthi's for a homemade dinner. I tell her she is with us right now watching over us. She looks up at me and says, "I want her to come down here." Hard to explain to a 3 yr old but she is understanding.
I try to teach my girls to live a humble life here on Earth and to be thankful for what we have here on Earth. Some would say not to talk about it. Some don't understand that we can't go to Grandma's house and play or do Christmas with her. So I teach my children about my Mom and how wonderful she was and that she loves them a lot. Some would say teaching about death is a bad thing. I guess I believe that we are here on Earth temporarily and Heaven is for eternity. I love that my children know a lot about their Grandma Ruthi and my twin brothers their uncles, James and John. Some don't understand what it's like to have their brothers pass away as a kid. I believe in teaching the cycle of life and to teach my girls to be thankful for what we have each day.
Kirra saw a little boy yesterday with no legs. That was a whole other little life lesson. Another thing to be thankful for like legs and fingers which this little boy didn't have about her age. She showed me her legs and fingers and said, "look Mommy I have legs and fingers." I said yes you do and look at that little boy he was smiling. Is he happy? She said yes. We are all different and I do believe in teaching kids the "tough lessons" in life. I guess I'd rather my girls learn lessons from me before they see it in our big world.

God is first in our little family and my children are so happy when we talk about him and our family up there.
Love,
Mommy
