Mother's day

First of all, Happy Mother's day to all you moms! This is the best mom's day I have had in my 4 years as a mom. Not just b/c of the things I have received, but because of the things I have given.

Every year it seems a card is all I can afford to send to all the strong women in my life to show them the appreciation I have for each and everyone of them. The five inches of space per card that allows me to share how blessed I am to have them in my life. This year, I was able to send an arrangement of my ma's favorite flowers to her. (Not by myself, along with my siblings.) It felt so good to tell her that we love her in a way other then a card. I think it meant a lot to her. Knowing that we got her her favorites. Us knowing what her favorites even are! lol Not only that, but my sister Ashley and I went to Walmart and got my mom all her other favorites and mailed them to her. I know she will be surprised!

Besides that, my children are so amazing to me. These two little lives of which I am

responsible for. Two lives that I brought into this world. Two of which I am raising to love our Lord and Savior. Two who bring me so much pride and joy. I am so proud of how far Noah has come. How big Summer is getting.

There had been a series at Church called "Hard Questions." This is where we could ask our Pastor anything and he would answer all that he could to the best of his ability. Someone asked why kids are born with disabilities. He said he didn't know really, some think sin of the parents, some say we won't know until we get to Heaven. I was worried then that it was

something I had done. The other day, I read in my bible about the blind man, who was blind from birth, that Jesus spat into the dirt and made mud and rubbed it on his eyes and told him to wash and was able to see. That people had asked Jesus, why was this man blind, was it his sin or his parents sin. Jesus said that God wanted to use him to show his greatness. I loved that. Knowing that Noah is going to be fine. He is so smart. He will be used for God's glory. :)

Anyways. lol

Usually in school the kids make a card or a frame out of Popsicle sticks for their mom's. Noah's class make a little flower that was made from his hand print, a heart, and his picture. It was placed in a flower pot with pretend grass and a poem. It was awesome. :) I loved it. His first real present to me for mama's day. :)

PS I think I know what Nick got me. But I will let him surprise me. hehe

God Bless you all this Mother's day.
