You're a Princess Mom

Today, as Jav was watching Shrek, he said, "Your a princess mom."
 "I'm a princess?" 
To which he replied with a mischevious smile, "No, you're not a princess." 
"Oh, well what am I?"
"Your a mama!"

And that's the truth of it! In the worlds eye (and sometimes mine on a bad day) I am just a mama covered in bodily fluids, food, snot, and dirt.  With my sweats and ponytail, I often look very disheveled and unattractive.  To the world, I need a makeover (and I probably do)!  To the world, I should use my education and do something important!

In the Lord's eye, I am a Queen.  I am a woman who has given up much in order to raise my boys.  I have submitted to the goo and gross stuff for a bigger purpose; for the most important job there is.  I AM A MAMA!  My boys don't care what I look like, they love me no matter what.  They love me when I'm crabby, when I don't feel good, when I look horrible.  They love me when they probably have good reason not too! They are the perfect example of perfect love, Christ's love!

So, yes, I might be in my sweats or pj's for the umpteenth day in a row, and I might not have make-up on, and I might smell like a mixture of dirt, spit, and cheerios but I am a QUEEN and I am a MAMA! I have the most important job on earth...and most of the time I do alright! I get paid in smiles, giggles, and snuggles.  I get paid in thank you's and "you're the bestest mom ever!"  I get paid in watching my boys grow up to be kind, thoughtful, unselfish, and forgiving! There is no salary better than this! For this, I am thankful!
