i'm sitting here, waiting for tyler to get home from school, just put bean down to bed...much later than usual to keep me company. and i'm sitting here staring at "The Family a Proclamation to the World". and, i love it. i can't rmember the last time i read it. certainly not since i've been a mom...perhaps since i've been married. i've been reading it, and even though i cant really remember it ever hitting me so hard before, i think that this time it means something different to me than before being a mom, and a wife. "Children are entitled to birth within the bonds of matrimony, and to be reared bya father and a mother who honor marital vows with complete fedelity." words like entitled, complete, bonds...all strike me as powerfully to the point.
families are ordained of God. families are a beautiful thing. sometimes it's hard to remember how beautiful it is when things are rough, or hard, or just plain jumbled up. i feel a teensy bit guilty of forgetting at times...i can't wait to hang this powerful proclamation on my wall, so that we walk past it everyday, and so that no matter what, we'll always remember how beautiful our family is. and all the hard work in the world is worth it, to be with our families forver.
go read it guys. i promise it will make your day better :)
