These are not my kids
but when I saw this photo on Pinterest
man oh man it tugged at my heart
because
it was my sweet moment...often...
all these years later
today
we celebrate
VICTORY
what I thought was hard
fevers, stitches, broken bones...well..that was hard..but they made it through all the way to
much harder and challenging issues than we ever thought possible
the kinds of things that make a mother bend to the floor
but today
we celebrate
VICTORY
personal growth in career and relationships and self awareness
these are not my kids
but when I saw this photo in a magazine
it looks so much like a sweet moment of mine
that I framed it and it sits on my desk
to remind me
that failure is not really failure
it is simply a more difficult path
to
VICTORY

Love this post because I know one day I will be celebrating victory too.Once I am done with teething, rashes, 15 min naps that I wish were 3 hour naps and spit ups issues..
Have a blessed day Gina~
Straight from your heart to mine- I've never believed anything more.

Every once in a while, I miss those days. The kids running around, swimming in the pool, family dinners and nights doing homework. Victory indeed!
Gina- Victory is so sweet, isn't it? I have found victory in my life even on the blackest days sometimes. Blessings- xo Diana
That is a great quote. I believe victory does not usually come easy. There are many obstacles one must overcome before the well done finish line. Have a happy week.
Well said and I can relate!
I love that! "A more difficult path to victory." Beautiful!
This is so sweet Gina! I can relate having raised a couple kids myself:) It's amazing when it all comes together..victory! xxL
I am so thankful for all the victories in my life....only thru GOD'S. Love.
That is one fabulous end quote,Gina. Failure is a more difficult path to victory...AMEN. And it is bound to happen to all of us because we are human. Oh the beauty in that...and thank you kindly for coming to visit me. I will continue to post AND visit! How could I not! I am however, very sick at the moment with vertigo and can't drive to work, so I'm home now. Bless you dear Gina! Enjoy your day, Anita
Love this post...it tugged at my heart too...
Lindos. Os filhos são nossa maior riqueza, por eles fazemos tudo. Tenho duas lindas crianças que cresceram e já estão indo fazer a vida. Mas sei que sempre voltarão.
Bjos e tenha um ótimo dia.
