This song — by Catholic singer/songwriter Marie Bellet — is gorgeous.  I have to say, it pretty much captures my life as the mom of young kids.  There are so many moments when I just want to fast-forward to what I imagine will be a simpler time, a time when the kids are older and just less work.   But when I wish that, it means that I’m wishing away the crazy but beautiful here and now, when the boys are so young and so sweet and so innocent.  This is a blessed time, this ordinary time. This song is a beautiful reminder of that.
So Happy Mother’s Day to all moms, grandmothers, foster mothers, godmothers, and all who play a mother’s role.   May we always cherish this ordinary time.
