I have a wonderful mom. I am a mom to 3 wonderful boys. I have wonderful "mom friends" that I share this journey with. This is a special day to celebrate all of that! I am humbled and grateful that God has given me all these blessings. There were many mother's days that I longed for a child of my own, so I know what that feels like for so many women who are still longing for this. My biggest encouragement is this - God is faithful. He may not answer your prayer exactly as you envision, but he will answer it!
As a mom, I have such a huge responsibility to shape the lives of my boys, and my prayer is that I can do it half as well as my own mom did! I wrote this in my mom's card this year and wanted to share it.
A Few Things I Learned From My Mom:
If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right!
It is the little details that make a BIG difference!
A little elbow grease can get most things clean!
Always go the extra mile
Always make people feel special.
Never say can't.
Everyone deserves a special day on their birthday!
Love God with all your heart.
Give of yourself without expecting anything in return.
Everybody puts on their pants one leg at a time!
Always do your best, no matter what.
And never, ever, ever give up!
These are priceless lessons to me and ones I hope to pass along to my children. Thank you mom for being a wonderful example!
I love this quote " A mom is a person who seeing there are only 4 slices of pie for 5 people, promptly declares I never did really care for pie!" So true, so true! Happy Mother's Day to all you moms who always give up the last piece of pie/cake/dessert for your children! You guys rock!
