Happy Mother's Day 2008...
It's the little things...
Of every day life.
Happy times...
A few with strife
The proud moments...
Accomplishments, Achievements.
Disappointments are there..
Try not to despair.
Watch them grow...
And guide and admonish.
Life is layer upon layer...
A foundation is made.
Brick upon brick...
Apply the mortar of love.
Wonder at their uniqueness...
A person is in the making.
God has a purpose...
For your child in this world.
Let them grow, explore...
Fulfill their calling.
Marvel at their beauty...
God gave you a precious little pearl.
The best Mother's Days are the regular "ho hum" days. The "every days", when you realize that your child was thinking of you. Carrie and Parker took a walk to the lake a couple of weeks ago. On their way back home they picked these wildflowers. Parker braved the prickly pear cactus and picked the beautiful rose-like blooms for me. Yes... he did get a few stickers!
Silly boy.
I was quite impressed by the beautiful bouquet that they had collected for me. And it touched my heart. Imagine, a 15 and 17 year old picking wildflowers for their mother.
Carrie proceeded to make some arrangements out of the flowers. She then got the camera and took some pictures of them.
This day, a cloudy cool day in April, was a Mother's Day to celebrate.
I'm so blessed to have Mother's Days throughout the year.
Because having Mother's Day, once a year, is just not enough.

I love this post, TJ....I was just telling my husband that the Mother's day holiday is simply over rated. To me, EVERY day is Mother's day.
