Calloused knees

I thought they would go away with more moisturizing. I was wrong.

I thought more time in the sun would help them darken. I was still wrong.

My knees (specifically the knee caps) are rough and possibly permanently calloused. I am not overly excited about this - especially since 90+ degree temps and pregnancy demand shorts be worn.

Then I had a revelation.

My knees are calloused because I spend a lot of time on the floor with my children. Guess it could be added to list of "honorable badges of motherhood" along with stretch marks, baby bangs, and more.

Then God reminded me that even more important than being on the floor with my children is being on my knees FOR my children in prayer.

Now those callouses are well worth having...
