On Saturday, May 7, 2011 this is what God's grace looked like to me. From my kitchen window, I saw my kids playing out on their swing set full of energy & happiness. I knew in my heart that I am blessed infinitely more than I deserve.Happy Mother's day to my Momma, she is an inspirational lady. She gave me a great childhood, even though the odds were stacked against her...No driver's license, English as her second language, little formal education. I played sports & took music lessons, yet the greatest gift my mother gave all four of us was the fact that she single- handedly drug us to church every Sunday & gave us the opportunity to know God. Most mornings I would find her at the kitchen table hunched over her Bible.
Happy Mother's Day to my Aunt Stephanie, whom I love dearly. I feel blessed to have been given a second mother who is able to fill in the gaps of my life that my mother could not. She always gives me encouragement & wisdom. When I pray for my children, I pray that God wraps His arms around them & fills in the gaps that I may leave. I pray that godly people will step forward, like my Aunt Stephanie has, and fill in those gaps.
Happy Mother's Day to all mothers & people who have been like mothers to us. I am thankful for my wonderful husband & 3 beautiful kids for making me a mother. Have I mentioned how wonderful God's grace is?
