Number One Blessing

My number one blessing is that every day I am granted the opportunity to practice patience.  My mother thinks I already have the patience of a saint.  I don't.  Every day I practice.  Some days I have to apologize for running out of patience to the littles.  Kind of a humbling experience.  Some days I think they try to see just how far I can be pushed.  I am grateful for all that they bring me including the days they push my buttons to the extreme.  I can't imagine living without them.
