This evening Micah answered of one my questions that I had been wrestling with:
"Mommy, is daddy home yet?"
"No baby, 45 more minutes."
"Is he still making money?"
"Yep, he's working for us."
"I don't want him to work. I want him to be home with us."
That of course had me drop everything I was doing and head over to ask him, "Why, Micah, do you want Daddy to be home?"
He simply said, "Because I want him."
It occurred to me there will be a time when the children will not want us so much, and maybe perhaps that's the time I can give myself to other things. Still praying through much of this, but I am glad for the wisdom each day I gain from my children. For now, for a short time, they are undeservedly mine and I will cherish these moments.

What a sweet post. Melts your heart.
That's such a sweet, wonderful, difficult thing to hear. It really does remind you how precious are these days when they need us so much. We have such a profound opportunity and responsibility to shepherd them right now!
Precious, precious words! Mom
