My Boys is a story of my treasured sons, Jack and Norman, as well as my awesome husband, Blake. There's also a few tidbits about me, Shannon, along the way.

the little things and the big things

I think motherhood is so hard right now with the diaper changes, sleep routines, getting them bathed and dressed to go somewhere at a certain time, etc., etc., etc.

After reflecting on what's to come in motherhood, I think about the bullies, broken hearts, disappointments, etc., etc., etc.

Now, to the heart of what got me thinking about all of this:

Max Clark came forward last night and was baptized. The REAL challenge for motherhood is teaching my boys to love and follow Jesus. I kept thinking about the day when my boys may step into the aisle at the church building and come forward. I puddle up even thinking about it now! I need to keep myself in check to always be the example they need to see of the love of God.
