Sweet Things







Parenthood is filled with a constant succession of tasks, chores, responsibilities-mouths to feed, bodies to bathe and dress, energy to harness and entertain, minds to teach, character to build... It is often overwhelming and most days its exhausting. But there are moments when you see your child- magical, small moments of fleeting beauty, innocence, joy, exuberance or complete bliss that take your breathe away. In many instances, you could not even describe these sweet things to someone five minutes after they occur, but within you is that tiny, perfect moment where you are given a glimpse of the mystery, the wonder, the discovery of life. Through these moments the drudgery of parenthood is able to fall away and our hearts can be renewed once again to love and give and give a little more.
