Life's Little Rewards

Imagine....I'm in my work clothes (grubby really) and my make-up is probably smudged. I still haven't gotten that hair cut I've been meaning to and by evening it could use another comb through. Basically I'm not at the top of my game at the end of the day and for sure not looking it. :-) But.....in chimes my two wonderful boys. "Mommy, you're beautiful," says Daniel. "I love you," says Luke. Neither comment do I feel I deserve, but it's offered with no strings attached simply because that's what they feel and think.

In the midst of a tough day or even just a mediocre one, one of my children comes along and offers their words of encouragement. It's in those moments I find my reward on earth.
