And just like that ….he’s 10!!!

It seems like just yesterday the most magical wonderment of a special baby entered my world, and spun  my life around in the most fantastic way imaginable, through the grace of God.

What an awesome and blessed day to look back to with the fondest of warm memories. I'm so fascinated to see how our son has developed and matured in so many ways.

 I look into this daily growing face of my child, and I stop and think, what a blessing…what a blessing!

Where did the time go?  How is this time going by so fast? I just don’t want to miss a thing. 

I sometimes still catch my breath when I hear the word “Mum” and think about all that goes with it, what it means to be a Mother, and all the responsibility of that very word, and most of all ….the ability to experience a natural unconditional love, no matter what.

Lots of things change as a child grows and yes it does become a bit easier, believe it or not. There are days when we as parents get tested… all part of the course. Their needs and wants changes as they grow more responsible. 

Becoming self aware of how we handle situations can reflect on our children too, how we react to people around us and what we say. They will role model us in similar situations too. 

We are the key to how they will face the world and embrace their challenges…to help them unlock their strengths and the power to believe that they can.

 

Instilling respectable values and manners will determine their roles as they grow into teens, and into the adults that they will one day become.

I am learning to become a better parent everyday….there are no perfect parents, just parents that are a work in progress. Ultimately we all just the want the best for our children 

We should never underestimate their capabilities of  them being able to achieve anything they set out to do..if you as a parent believe they can do it, they will believe that they can too!!

We could not be more blessed to have this incredible, witty, funny, intellectual and amazing young boy in our lives. Everyday is a blessing. 

I’m so proud to be called “Mum” and that God chose me to be a Mum to the most beautiful gift any woman could ask for….priceless and the most valuable. 

It’s been the most amazing and magical 10 year journey so far …thank you Noah🙏🏽❤️

“Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.”

- Matthew 18:1-5

My wish 🙏🏽

 My wish

Today as I blew out a candle representing the years of my life on this earth, I could think of many things to wish for, but something really stood out. 

My wish and prayer is truly for peace, world peace 🙏🏽 

I wish for humanity in the hearts of all, that people across the world will at some stage of this journey in our lives, live in harmony, peace, love, happiness and understanding. May the world be full of kinder, trustworthy and honest people. May we not always feel that we need more than others, may we always acknowledge our blessings and try to be selfless in our everyday lives, trying a random act of human kindness where possible.

May homes be felt with a Godly presence so that broken homes might be healed, our children will be steered in the right paths of life and not lured onto a journey where they feel lost, desperate and alone.

I pray for our leaders to be instilled with wisdom, guidance and virtue that they may lead their nations with honest hearts and selflessness.

I pray for our earth to heal so that those of us sharing our lives on her space can lead happier, content and positive lives, and work hand in hand to protect what has been given to us for a borrowed time.

May each day bring you better, brighter and positive thoughts, no matter what. It is us that can truly find the peace within ourselves, and help to spread it. 

🙏🏽❤️
