Thoughts on Motherhood by Nancy Wilson

From a grandma's point of view, here are a few things I would want to tell myself back when my children were still at home:

1. Repetition is a glorious thing! Enjoy the repeat performance every day.
2. Steward the events (the planned and especially the unplanned) of each day with contentment.
3. Pray more! Worry less. Much less.
4. Express praise and thanks every chance.
5. At the end of the day, never say I didn't get anything done!

And just to be fair, here are a few things I'm glad we did for our kids when they were little:

1. After-dinner reading that sometimes stretched on for hours.
2. Hot towels from the dryer after baths.
3. Jammie rides for ice cream and a visit to grandparents.
4. Open tap on the milk in the fridge.
5. Bedtime songs and stories.
