To everyone out there...
~ Who has sat up at night and held a child in her arms
~ Who has looked into the eyes of her child for the first time and realized how much love a heart can hold
~ Who has learned not to bat an eyelash when covered in all manner of bodily fluids... someone else's bodily fluids
~ Who struggles to take up the cross of motherhood daily, that her children might catch the smallest glimpse of Christ in her life
~ Who has prayed for the heart of her child, long before he or she was even born
~ Who has quivered just a bit at the responsibility of tending a child's heart
~ Who has kissed owies, wiped runny noses and soothed tears - all the while wishing she could bear the pain herself
~ Whose life is full of laundry, dishes, diapers and more...
And who wouldn't want it any other way.
Happy Mother's Day!
(okay, I know it's three days early, but we leave tomorrow for a visit with my family, and I wanted to get this post up there - for all the incredible moms I know in real life, and all the incredible moms I've "met" online - Happy Mother's Day!)

- A Few of My Favorite Things ~ Shady spots on sunny days ~ Knowing people well and and loving them well ~ Yarn, fabric... pretty much anything crafty ~ My incredible husband who knows I'm crazy and loves me anyway ~ Our daughters Hazel, Meriel and Ruby, who have thrown our lives into the most precious tailspin imaginable ~ Above all else - the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus

I love Mother's Day now! Michael is finally into making me things. I thought he wasn't into that sort of thing. It just took awhile for him to want to do it.
He's already made me a card and he's got some other 'stuff' to give me on Sunday.
Happy Mother's Day to you :)
Have a wonderful 1st Mother's Day!!!!
That's an awesome post. Very, very nice.
