Learning from our children

I’m continually learning lessons every day. In fact, some days I wonder if my kids teach me more about myself and life in general than I could ever teach them. Becoming a mother was undoubtedly the best day of my life and I have been blessed to have five of these days in my life (well technically four due to the twins). Nevertheless, all of the parenting books and advice I had equipped myself with did not prepare me to raise these children. Before kids, the thought never occurred to me that I would possibly have to sacrifice simple things such as a shower or a hot meal for the well-being of another human being.
