My twins are 22 yrs old now. When they were 3 yrs old, I paid a lot of money to have a guy come in and paint clouds on the slanted ceiling in their bedroom. A few days later it got awfully quiet...I went up to see what they were up to, and there they were sitting on their beds without a stitch of clothing on, with red hands and feet, and RED clouds! They got their hands on a red marker. My face probably matched that color perfectly when I saw what they had done.<br /><br />But I had prayed for twins, and looking back I'm so grateful to God for those two dear boys! And by His Grace, so will you...Deborah Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14415814125499548149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144235032583435175.post-39666947413084643022010-01-27T15:02:03.827-08:002010-01-27T15:02:03.827-08:00Dear Jennifer,
First of all... I love the picture ...Dear Jennifer,<br />First of all... I love the picture you posted with this entry. Where and how did you find it!?<br /><br />Then, I must tell you that you are not doing anything wrong... please hang in there. You are an encouragement to God Himself, I am very sure of that.<br /><br />He doesn't expect perfection, I'm sure I don'thave to tell you that, but anyway, I just did.<br /><br />Love your heart... I believe God gave twins to moms He knew He could trust. Can't look at it any other way!<br /><br />Love you!<br /><br />LidjCrown of Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08993686012020045284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144235032583435175.post-49462594413915834462010-01-27T13:36:53.618-08:002010-01-27T13:36:53.618-08:00Oh Jennifer,
those moms have stories that they may...Oh Jennifer,<br />those moms have stories that they may not tell. They have them, though. I'm sure of it!<br /><br />The awesome thing to me is that you allow your daily life lessons to be lessons for us as well. You always, always share what you've learned. You always, ALWAYS give glory to our Lord.<br /><br />I'll tell you what I see--I see a woman determined to live for Christ. A woman who will not settle for giving anything less than her very best. I see a woman who loves Him and loves his people enough to give of herself every single day. If nowhere else (and oh, I'm sure there are countless other ways), here on this blog.<br /><br />Just over the past 48 hours I thought about calling or emailing and quite honestly--venting. Because I know I could. Because you are that kind of friend. Because I know you would not be partial having known each person entagled in my little problems. Because I know that your source is in HIM! In the Word! Because I know you are compassionate.<br /><br />And now I'm crying just typing this. When I feel harried or stressed over my little one, it makes me think of you. And that--I hope will always prompt me to pray for you.<br /><br />And when I see you coming with your three little ones (though it's only been a couple of times) I see grace in the form of a mother who carries herself with a calmness that I cannot comprehend. You may not feel it inside, but you are indeed a picture of His grace!<br /><br />Love you much!<br />RenaLauren Delainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06992185662542598747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144235032583435175.post-63327958571004527602010-01-27T05:53:18.880-08:002010-01-27T05:53:18.880-08:00The mom's with great hair probably have a nann...The mom's with great hair probably have a nanny, just kidding. I didn't have twins, but I remember those days when I would be so busy I'd forget to take a shower. My oldest son was born with heart problems, so before his 8 mo. old operation, I would sit and hold him all day (he also had colic, so I pretty much had to because he screamed all day for the first 4 months). Believe me, I know what you feel like when you think you're going crazy. Just hang in there and keep praying for God's grace. This season will pass and you'll even look back on it and laugh.

I don't have twins, but at one ...Oh so true. <br /><br />I don't have twins, but at one point my husband and I had 5 kids, ages 6 and under...and I thought I would never make it to bed-time most days. But I can say, years later, that: Yes, the day will come when they no longer cry like that...and then you will spend the days wondering "Do they know I love them...and do they love me or do they just have to say that as they leave the car for school?"<br /><br />His grace, thankfully, is there in EVERY stage of mommmy-hood!<br />Thanks for this great post as it was a refresher to my soul...<br />Bina<br /><br />PS - that picture...I LOVE that pictureBinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04012123935576820284noreply@blogger.com
