Note from Katie: As we approach Mother's Day, we have a very special post from a very special lady. Carrie is my sister, my friend and an awesome mother of 3! I know you will enjoy this!
Happy Mother's Day!
Dear Mom,
For all the orthodontist trips that could have been peaceful…
For all the vehicles that could have been clean…
For all the days we could have been away at school…
I noticed.
I noticed when you could have made things easier for you,
but you didn't.
Thanks for all those times.
My Grandma is…
Biblical values, daily devotions, lasting marriage,
made from scratch cooking, time to talk, grounded advice,
unconditional love…
My Grandma is the example of all I hope to be one day..
Remembering Grandma…
Vanilla yogurt, Lucky Charms, Friendlys Ice Cream…
Campers, swaps, card games, bikes…
These things will always remind me of you, Grandma.
To My Mother (and Grandmothers)-in-Law on Mother's Day
People say
“In-Laws are the enemy, watch out for them.”
But what if God gives you the mother of your husband as a way to understand him better?
What if, in finding my husband I gained more brothers?
Another mother?
An involved grandmother?
Maybe some things people say are true, like
“what you don't know you need, God sends to you…”
Wishing all Mothers a very Happy Mother's Day today!
