Happy Mother's Day

This Mother's day is a bit different than years passed.  My hubby had to scoot out early for church.  But my kiddos are here with me and we will be heading to church later this morning.  Josh wants to me my server today and wants to get me all things.  Too cute.  I made the comment Friday that I don't want to really be "doing" anything today as I do all the time.   But I came to realize that I am a Mom and while it will be exciting and wonderful to hear all the accolades, I am called to be here for my family no matter what the day is.  So with a renewed mind and spirit I will be available for my family in their times of need.  

I was reminded about how precious my children are to me and how much I truly do love them.  I really enjoy being with my children, that is why I was very excited and ready to bring them home to school them.  I love really knowing who my kids are.  I was given a gift last night by Stephen, no it was not in a package it was in his words,  he felt he could come to me and talk to me about something.  That is a wonderful gift!!  I always want my offspring to feel comfortable enough to say anything to me.  I got that last night.   Yesterday I had the opportunity to spend with my one and only Abigail.  What a treat!!!

I remember that I went through several phases in my life about having kids.  I wanted to have more than one, I knew that.  Then I remember being scared out of my mind and not wanting to get pregnant - it was after we were married.  I think the Lord was foreshadowing for me (my pregnancies were not hard but they were not easy for me.  And my deliveries were unnatural). I remember a friend saying that I would probably only have 2 (after Abigail).  She had come over when Abs was only a month old and said that I was done having children.  I really did not give it any thought as I know all things are not up to me.  Then came my Josh and what an easssy baby he was.  The year we moved from PA to OH I miscarried.  There are still times that I wonder who God had for me to mother and also wonder why I did not get the chance to meet this little.  But my God is sovereign and I rest in that.  

(My apologies for getting a little nostalgic.)

To all you Mom's and future Mom's I do wish you a most blessed, happy, and joyful Mother's Day.  May your littles brighten your day!
