- "Pass me a diaper."
- "Bring me the baby's towel."
- "Go turn off the stove."
- "Sweep the floor for Mommy."
- "Run get the wet wipes!!!"
- "Grab the diaper bag."
How wonderful it is to have good help, and I am thankful that I can rely on them for things I need done. What a difference it has made with this baby to have older children who truly are a big help!
A few weeks ago, the children and I were talking about the discussion the disciples had among themselves about who was the greatest. Jesus later told them that the greatest is the servant of all. I told them that when they are serving others, they are indeed the greatest of all.
I heard Debbie say to Andrew the other day, "You go first. I want to be the greatest." I had to smile. But to my children I say, "To Mommy you are the greatest because you have had such a servant's attitude, and I do appreciate it!"
From one grateful Mommy,
