Happy Mother's Day!

To all of you .. Happy Mother's Day!

My Mother's Day is always bittersweet. I love the fact that God has allowed me to bring life into this world 4 times even though one of my children now sits at the feet of Jesus. I would love to spend time with my precious daughter this Mother's Day.

I am simply amazed at what God has provided for me as a mother even my own mother also now sits at Jesus' feet. She always said she would NEVER get to meet her grandchildren and unfortunately that is true, but she has met them in an unusual sort of way, she shaped and molded me and now lives through me as I raise my children.

Oh how I wish I could hug her today and tell her Happy Mother's Day Mom ... you are doing good work. I thank God for memories so strong that I can still hear her voice calling me name. I thank God that on occasion when I am having a really hard time with my life and raising her grandchildren, I have dreams, real dreams to me, where she is there w/ the grandkids and everything seems so matter of fact, so real.

Call me crazy, but I believe God allows these dreams for me. He works for me and comforts me with my dreams.

So today as I miss my mom, but celebrate my own motherhood, I pray that tonight I will get to see her again and give her a big hug!

For all of you .. Happy Mother's Day. You are doing great work, even when your head is spinning and life seems out of control ... you ARE doing a great job! You aren't told enough thank you, thank you for the many things that get done and I want to say thank you. Motherhood is not easy, but so many seem to make it look flawless (like my mom), so in the day in day, know you ARE making a difference.

From my house to yours .. Happy Mother's Day!!!

Mother's Day ...

Happy Mother's Day to you! I pray you have a great day today with your families. Treasure EVERY moment and well wish you recieve today.

I spent my day with my family and we did something we rarely do. We were in the mall on a Sunday. We are ALWAYS at home spending time alone .. we call Sundays Family Day and everyone around us knows we are UNAVAILABLE and will only leave the house or except visitors under special situations.

This way we know without a shadow of a doubt, we will always SEE each other face to face .. ALL DAY long. We always go to early service and hubby cooks breakfast every Sunday, and then we talk, sleep, eat, watch movies, pray, sleep more, talk and just plain enjoy each other's company.

But today, we threw caution to the wind and spent time at an outlet mall. Hubby kept saying "get it" , "get it", but of course I could never find anything I like or that fit. (hehehe) so I ended up buying items for the kids and hubby for our upcoming vacation to Disney.

Most of all today .. I miss my mom. 13 years ago today, she went home to be with the Lord and Mother's Day has been so different since that year. God has give me children to celebrate with, but I still miss her very much.

Wish I could give her a big ole hug right now .....
