Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all you mothers! We are now back from our vacation and back into the 'real' world. It's nice to have those moments of escape but unfortunately I have to come back to reality now.

I realized this morning that right now for me Mother's day has nothing to do with getting a break from motherhood. I was awakened to a crying baby, and a toddler with diarrhea. I am reminded that life really is not all about me. Sometimes I'd like for it to be, but it just isn't. Mother's day is about honoring our own mothers. Shouldn't we live our lives focused on others? Jesus has called us to be servants and to put others ahead of our own desires. There is always blessing in obedience. So I will shift my focus, get back to relity, and go own with the joyful busyness of rearing young children. It was nice to of my sweet husband to have out for me on the table some beautiful yellow roses, a sweet card and a great book. Thanks Chase for your thoughtfulness!

So Mom thanks for all that you have done for me through the years! I love you!
