Happy Mother's Day!



Happy Mother's Day to all of the wonderful mothers in my life! Each and every mother has blessed our lives in so many different ways. I loved my first Mother's Day and have waited a long time to be able to join the Mommy Club. It is the most wonderful experience so far, and I just hope that I can be as wonderful a mother to my children as my Mom has been to me.
I found this poem that I thought was really sweet and describes how I feel about my precious mother:

My Mother's Heart
by Jill Lemming

My mother's heart is so tender
and her face has a gentle glow.
She's my friend and my inspiration,
she's the sweetest mom I know.
She gives herself so freely
to those who share her life.
She clearly loves her children
with the love that comes from Christ.
Her eyes are full of compassion
her voice is soft and mild.
She lives for helping others,
leaving "heartprints" all the while.
My mother's love is special
and grows sweeter with every year.
God blessed me with an angel;
she's my precious mother, dear.

I love you with all of my heart, Mom. Thanks for making the trip to spend Mother's Day here. We miss you already and we can't wait to see you again in a few days!
