Mother’s Day
This is the first Mother’s Day we have celebrated in the states since 1999 when my firstborn, Hannah, was 2 months old. The day was a pleasant suprise! Mothers were celebrated and honored at church on Sunday morning….. during worship by the teenagers who gave all mothers in the assembly roses, in the children’s Bible classes as afterward my children proudly presented me certificates for mother of the year and coupons, and even at the Mexican restaurant where we went for lunch where each mother was presented with a beautiful fresh rose! AND, David and my children gave me 30 beautiful tulips and I got to buy a new outfit for church! I know this is not every mother’s experience on Mother’ Day in the U.S., but I felt honored and loved and thankful for the support networks that exist in this culture that allow a society at large to honor mothers. I am so grateful that God has granted me the privilege 4 times over of being mother to 4 unique and beautiful bearers of His image. Praise and thanksgiving to the Lord!
What beautiful blessings! Happy Mother’s Day!
Happy Mothers Day (two days late)! I saw your friend and former teammate, Tracey, yesterday on the soccer fields, and it made me think of you. I had no idea you guys were in the states. You’re not coming our direction, are you?
By the way, I made my blog private, but I would love for you to still be able to see it. Email me at patanddebbills@bellsouth.net so I can add you to the list.
Now that Dad has fixed my sickly computer, I got to read your last two posts– I am so glad that you are in America for awhile, so I get to see your face– and am glad you had a wonderful Mother’s day! I am thankful for the chance to see those four wonderful kids who call you Mother!
