Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day

As both little ones are taking a nap, I find myself overwhelmed with emotions today. 

Over the years the word "mom" as had a variety of meanings.  When I was young, mom was the person who made yummy dinners, provided comfort when I was sick, and made sure I did my chores.  When I was a teenager, mom was the person who drove me crazy and who I thought had no idea what I was going through- yet little did I know she knew exactly what I was going through and without her guidance and prayers- we may not have survived those teenage years. In my 20's, mom became the person who I could seek advice from as I journeyed into adulthood.  In my 30's, I am honored to now hold the title of mom.  I frequently seek my mom's advice on parenting issues and don't know what I'd do without my mom's guidance, prayers and love. 

As I type I hear, "momma" from upstairs as Leinna is waking from her nap. My heart surges with love as I think - wow, I am a momma. I have the joy and privilege of being a momma to two wonderful children. I hope one day they too can look back and be thankful. 

 I know I'm beyond thankful for my mom and the role she's plays in my life. 

I love you mom!
