Mother's Day 2009

Words cannot express how blessed we are.... We have all that we need, we have our health (most of the time), and we have.... most importantly... love for each other. We don't always get along, we have our ups and downs, but the ties that bind our hearts together are laced with love.
My two beautiful daughters found a smidgen of time to surprise me before work on Mother's Day with this beautiful wall hanging that I will cherish forever.
I was blessed to share Mother's Day, not with my own children, but with precious little souls who need inpatient medical care. I missed my children dearly, but I trust God has many reasons we shared only a few precious moments together this year.
I missed my sharing time with my own mother, but my precious husband was able to spend time with her in my place.
So.... for many things I am thankful.... I'm thankful that I have a wonderful family that loves each other when we're together, and when we're not. I'm thankful that our two beautiful daughters are growing up into beautiful young ladies that I'm proud of.... and mostly, I'm thankful that God has seen fit to place this wonderful family in my life....
Happy Mother's Day to all.... we are blessed....
Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him.~ Psalm 127:3
