Tagged...Real Mums
I've been tagged! Barbara at Ramblings from an English Garden tagged me. The subject? Real Mums. Oh, I can hear her lovely English accent as I type the words, and it lifts my spirits!
Real Mums
Love adopted children as though they bore them themselves
Can't wait until the pregnant belly shows
Could hold their new babies forever and gaze at the sweet sleeping face
Love the smell of a freshly bathed baby
Get up in the middle of the night without a complaint
Plan birthday celebrations even if no one else is invited
Assign household chores and teach their children how to do them correctly so that they will be prepared for the future
Can kiss a boo-boo and make it all better
Accept sticky kisses and dirty arms around their necks with no fear of their hair or clothes being mussed
Readily set an extra place at the table when their child unexpectedly invites a friend for dinner
Are good listeners and trusted confidants
Are prepared to be hated at times
Teach their children to have good manners and respect
Give their children roots and wings
Teach their children about the Lord
Pray for their children without ceasing
That is my "short" list! I'm tempted to tag all of my readers, but I won't. So, I tag Sherry, Karen, Kelli, and Christy.
