Favorites

As moms, we have ALL been told not to openly favor one child over the other. But have you noticed that some times, one child or the other does become the favorite? For me it changes almost daily. On days that I am kinda blue and need hugs and kisses, my middle child becomes my favorite, because she is cuddly and sweet and gives kisses and hugs freely. On days when I need help at home, my oldest becomes my favorite. She loves to clean and pick up and is very tidy. On days when I just need a laugh, my little man fills the spot. He is funny and goofy and loves to make people laugh.
I spend a lot of time at home with just my kids, hubby has to work you know! So some days having the special talent of each child is truly a Godsend. My kids can each speak to a spot in my soul that needs uplifting. It's amazing what God has put into each of them!
I think our kids just seem to know what we need sometimes. I am not saying to OVERTLY favor any one child, but sometimes let them give you what you need to make it through! God knew what He was doing when He gave us our children, He knew what we needed and when we would need it.
