Living all over again What I consider weeds, my kids will look at as the most beautiful bouquet they can give. This is true with everything in life. We should all look at what we might first consider “weeds” and find the beauty. Hallmark could never make a more beautiful card than the one that is handmade with broken crayons and a lot of heart and soul. My kids are a mirror, and no matter what I say or do, it will come back to me “out of the mouths of babes,” and I can see myself as others see me. Most of the time this happens at the most inopportune moments. We have not one go-around in life, but two, three, etc. The one we live ourselves and the one we live through our children the first time they experience something that we have long taken for granted. All stress and heartache can be solved with a smile or an “I love you, Mom.” What my single friends consider to be a burden is the most precious gift God can give. I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
