It may not be too easy to enjoy this season of motherhood. The worries about the pandemic, our livelihood, the impact of being cooped up at home has on the kids…

But we moms, at some point have prayed for that SLOW button. That God would give us a chance to savor the babyhood, toddlerhood and childhood of our kids. They grow up way too fast and these lockdowns have apparently become the PAUSE or the SLOW MO button of our otherwise fast-paced lives.

Before this global health issue, we hurry our school aged kids to get to school/homeschool work; we hurry the toddlers to finish what they are eating; we are getting worried about the time it takes for our infant to finally doze off in our arms so that we can lay them on their cribs. But now that COVID19 happened, we seemed to have found extra time. Let us not waste it on anxieties and worries because the children grow up way too fast.

Try to scroll down your phone gallery right now. 500 pictures down and you’ll see how tiny they were 500 pictures ago? I bet they have grown up a bit and got heavier. These lockdowns gives us a chance to savor them while they are still in our nest.

Because when they leave…

Our house will be cleaner, way too quiet, and we will have all the time to do what we have wanted to do, BUT AT THE BACK OF OUR MINDS WE WOULD GIVE EVERYTHING TO TRAVEL BACK IN TIME 

Cheer up and be happy. God is all-knowing, and we are exactly where He wants us to be

Have a great Tuesday ahead mommies!
