Mother's Day

Being a mother has made me much more appreciative of all that my own mother has done for me.  Apart from her relationship with God and my dad, we were her next priority.  She said no to many activities that would've taken away time spent with her family. I been blessed with a very loving mother.  I know many people did not grow up in nurturing homes and I am sad for them.  I am so thankful for my upbringing and the unconditional love of my mom.
I am also thankful that I get to be a mom to 6 amazing kids.  I can't imagine how different my like would be without them.  They bring me to my knees on a regular basis, seeking wisdom from the Lord.  They have enabled me to see my sinfulness and need for a Savior.  The joy that they have brought to my life is indescribable and I love them immensely.
Last but now least, God gave me an amazing mother-in-law, Jeanne, who has always made me feel part of the family.  She too, modeled Christ's love to her kids and continues to be very much a part of all their  lives. 
My kids have 2 involved, caring grandmas. 
Thank you Lord for such wonderful blessings!  We were able to spend the evening together, eating pizza, salad and icecream sundaes.  The kids enjoyed their cousins and we all enjoyed sweet fellowship.
