thoughts on the road

Well I've never posted from my phone before! Please excuuse the typoz.

We are headed back from Bend, Or where we stayed for one night. Everytime we come here I tell Ross I could live there. I just felt led to post today about how thankful and happy I am for being Madelyn's mom. She had a rough day with another little girl who did not play nice with her. Even moments after being pushed, Madelyn looked at her, pursed her lips together, and went "mmmmmah" as she leaned in to kiss her. I almost cried as I was so proud of her for loving others unconditionally, and being so forgiving. We have been struggling with Maddy's temper lately; so this was a good reminder that she is still my sweet girl with a good heart; in spite of her imperfections. Its difficult as a parent to see your little angel struggle with worldly flaws that afflict us all. I need to cope with knowing I can't protect her from the world; and just teach her the best I can while having faith the The Lord will guide her (and me).
