Thankful Thursday!
I am so thankful for these kiddos and for their papa. Life wouldn't be nearly as fun without them. Being a mom and (favorite) aunt is the best! :)

Mama a.k.a. Shot Caller
Parenting is not for the weak. There are so many decisions to make for your own children that you don't really understand until you have kids. I remember when I was a brand new mom, I had a hard time deciding when our Emma was truly sick enough to go to the doctor. Over the last few days, Brooks has been running a fever and had a weird thing going on with his left eye. This morning Layt was asking me to tell him if we should take him to see the doctor. I couldn't decide because Brooks is also teething and that could have been causing the symptoms. Layton finally says, "You're the shot caller! Tell me what to do!" I almost busted out laughing as I realized that I, Mama, am the official family shot caller. It's a hard job, but somebody has to do it.
In the end, I made the right decision. Layton took Brooks to see the doctor and he has an ear infection. With the help of an antibiotic and prayer, he should be as good as new in a few days.

Say your prayers.
"The family that prays together stays together." - Al Scalpone
I have always been a praying person, but lately I have had a stronger desire to talk to The Father. Several years ago a dear friend turned me on to a local christian radio (90.7) station and I have been tuning in daily since that time. Through that station, I was led to an amazing link that I wanted to share. This link will lead you to three prayers for spouses and parents that can make a world of difference in your daily walk.
We have been studying prayer at church on Wednesday night and some of the points Brother Jackson has been making have really hit home with me on how, when, and for who we should pray. I have never had a stronger need for a relationship with God. I am so thankful to be his child.
Blessings!
