Happy Mother's Day

It is a great day!  Being a Mom is unlike anything else.  I remember after having Stephen that a feeling of completeness came over me.  Many years, and 2 more kids, later I can honestly say that being a mom is a very rewarding exhilarating trying challenging exciting experience.  I have had the pleasure of homeschooling my kiddos and that has really made me appreciate and love them each more than I thought possible.  I love being with my family and enjoy our moments of laughter and life.  I know it is just mere years before they start to leave the nest and I look forward to those times with a happy sadness.

I am proud to be the mom to Stephen, Abigail, and Joshua.  God has blessed me abundantly.  I need to be reminded of that occasionally for I can allow the dailies to take over my devotions and steer me away from the abundant blessings in my life.

I only hope and pray those that read this are also comforted with the knowledge that God is ever-present in your life and while you may not live a life like me, you live a life He wants you to have.  There is no doubt in my mind that a mom of some sort has impacted your life in an amazing and powerful way.  Thank the Lord for such a blessing this Mother's Day!!!  I know I do!!!

Just another lovely Monday

I have actually been liking our Mondays around here. If you may recall, I don't like them. We have to get packed up and out for several hours in the middle of the day and I am not good with interruptions.

But these last few ones have been spectacular as far as weather and then going smooth with all the driving around! The weather allows for lots of playing outdoors. The church we go to has lots of property for the kids to run around.

Work has been getting down without complaints and that has been terrific. There are always negotiations but that is expected.

I can't say it enough - Lovely, just lovely!
