Happy Mothers Day

What is a Mother??

It takes a Mother's Love

to make a house a home,

A place to be remembered,

no matter where we roam.

It takes a Mother's Patience,

to bring a child up right,

And her Courage and her Cheerfulness

to make a dark day bright.

It takes a Mother's Thoughtfulness

to mend the heart's deep "hurts,"

And her Skill and her Endurance

to mend little socks and shirts.

It takes a Mother's Kindness

to forgive us when we err,

To sympathize in trouble

and bow her head in prayer.

It takes a Mother's Wisdom

to recognize our needs

And to give us reassurance

by her loving words and deeds.

It takes a Mother's Endless Faith,

her Confidence and Trust

To guide us through the pitfalls

of selfishness and lust.

And that is why in all this world

there could not be another

Who could fulfill God's purpose

as completely as a MOTHER!

Happy Mothers Day to all Mom's everywhere!!! I spent the day yesterday with Cassie and had a fabulous day! James and Brittany were out at friends houses so it was just the 2 of us....We gardened, and puttered around and went shopping for plants. We chatted and chatted and just had a great day! How much I enjoyed spending the day doing that! Reminds me of many a times spending days with my mom, just hanging out and doing stuff together. How I miss those days! I can only hope that I can instill in my children the love to nurture things just as my mom taught me. How to appreciate a just weeded flower bed or take satisfaction in a job well done.

Happy Mothers Day Mom, we all miss you and think about you so often. Mothers Day or any other day just is not the same with out you here. We love you and miss you so much....
