In everything I do today, all I see is Joy's face, smiling big. She had a calling and she lived it to the fullest. We should all share her passion for whatever it is we have been called to do at the time. In my case, that is being a wife and mother right now. I want to do it with real joy...and passion...and LOVE.
God, help me to love this man like I am supposed to. I want to be the wife that he needs and I want our home to be filled with love, in the good times and the bad.
Thank You for a beautiful son and another on the way. Every day as a mother is a great adventure. It is a huge blessing and a huge job, but I love it. Please let that love come through in everything. Give Andrew and I the wisdom to raise our children as best as we can.
I have been so blessed. Life is a gift and so many times I have taken it for granted. We don't know how many years, days or seconds are left.
No matter how big or small our calling may seem, let's embrace it fully. Life is beautiful.
Yesterday both my boys had hiccups at the same time. It was a sweet and funny moment. Maddox touched my tummy and I told him his brother had hiccups like him. He could feel the little jumps. He smiled.
Sometimes we get so busy and stressed we forget what life is all about. We forget that it will not always go on. These tender moments remind us of the real treasures in life. Joy Bausum knew what was important. She showed God's love to people in the most genuine way I have ever seen. I hope we can all love more like that; I hope we will all embrace the calling on our lives and NEVER LET IT GO.
