Dear future me in 2025,
I hope you're a mother by now. I hope you've got 1 or 2 (or more!) kids that make you smile in joy, make you laugh with their silliness, make you sigh with their messiness, and make you wonder at their creativity. I hope you stay patient with them, remember you were a child once too. I hope you don't yell at them when they make mistakes, remember you make mistakes still. I hope you teach them patience, by answering the same question for the hundredth time. I hope you teach them forgiveness, by modeling it when you do wrong against them. I hope you teach them sacrifice, by not letting them get everything they want. I hope you teach them generosity, by encouraging them to share with kids less fortunate than them. I hope you teach them the Gospel, by living it out with them daily and by speaking it to them constantly. I hope you teach them that the family is stronger when everybody is on the same team, so they get to do chores and help with the meals. I hope you teach them that they have a voice, and it’s okay to say NO if something makes them uncomfortable. I hope you teach them the value of friendships, and the influence of the right or wrong friends. I hope you show them you love their father, by demonstrating loving affection. I hope you teach them to explore – through books, through nature, through art, through music, through building blanket forts, through engineering Tinker Toy masterpieces. I hope you get in front of the camera with your kids, no matter how you look or how messy the house seems. I hope you go swimming and hiking and climbing and splashing through puddles with them. I hope you remember God comes first - before your kids, before your husband, before yourself. I hope you rely on HIM and not on your own strength. I hope you remember to ask for help from wise women and dear friends. I pray – if it's not in God's will to have your own children – that you open your heart and lives to other children who desperately need a loving home and family.
Love,
Present me in 2018
