Once again Mother's day has come and gone. I had the privilege of celebrating this year with my little family, and it really was such a gift. I know mother's day can be very hard for a lot of people. Whether you haven't been able to have children of your own yet, you have children in heaven, you don't have a mother or your mother is no longer on this earth. This day can be hard, and although this day has never been difficult for me, I can understand why it would be for some. But, I realized something this mother's day that i've never really thought of before. Mother's day, in a round about way, is so much more than celebrating mothers. It's more about celebrating the women in your life. Whether your an aunt, a sister, a mother, a grandmother or a friend, each women has impacted someone's life one way or another. Even though I get to celebrate my mom and mother in law, I too am thankful for the other women in my life who have impacted me in huge ways. This world needs women. Strong, Godly, loving women to care for, nurture and fight for others. So thank-you, to my mom, mother in law, friends, and mentors for making such a huge impact on my life.
I to am a Mom, and was thankful this weekend for that gift. It really truly is a gift, something that I never want to take for granted. We are blessed beyond measure, in more ways than one and I am beyond grateful because I know I don't deserve any of it.
Yesterday was not only Mother's day but also ten on ten, so I now leave you with some pictures as well :)
Started our morning off by hearing daddy preach at a church in Brandon. I'm so, so very proud of him.
Each woman got a rose for Mother's Day. I got 4 for being the speakers wife, perks I guess :)
Mother's Day cards with help from Daddy.
Explored Brandon for wee bit!
Took advantage of the last 2 minutes of frappuchino happy hour for the day.
Love this little boy so much.
Bed time stories with daddy while mom catches up with a friend!
It was a good day.
