Mother of Two

I'm a mother of two. Two beautiful children. Little gifts from God. Gifts, yes. But also crosses. A way to help me "work out [my] salvation with fear and trembling." (Phil 2:12) How difficult, how wonderful - being a parent, a mother. Mother, mama. It means so much, requires so much. Blessed Mary - Theotokos - Mother of God, pray for me. Interceed for me before the throne of your Son, so that I might live out my vocation of motherhood well. That I might one day see the face of God and bring up my children such that they will be able to do the same. Amen. Amen.
