“Good and bad run on parallel tracks and they both arrive about the same time.” (Pastor Ron Dunn)
When I became a mother, I signed up for an abundance of joy, and at times experience a lot of pain.
I have praised His name when babies come, and grieved the loss of babies gone. If I didn’t continue to choose to stay at home and change stinky diapers, potty-train, wipe little tears, and have a severe lack of rest, I would miss experiencing the depth of loving these tiny humans God gave me. When I wash off the sticky fingerprints that have touched the walls, I also get to experience those same little fingers being gentle enough to touch my heart. When I look into my toddlers tired eyes when he doesn’t want to take a nap, I get to see those same soft eyes tell me “I love you mommy.”
No woman knows what she signs up for when she becomes a mother, but one thing is for sure. Good and bad run on parallel tracks and they both arrive about the same time.
So if I could go back just to avoid any pain life throws at me, I’d still choose this life all over again, and again, and again, and again.
