A Mother Is…
*able to function on minimal sleep
*has the ability to turn a frown upside down
*addicted to coffee to help us function
*a nurse for all boo-boos, scrapes, insect bites, and heartaches
*a taxi to sports practice and games
*the paparazzi
*beams over our child’s latest accomplishments
*a referee
*the champion of multi-tasking
*a family planner
*is burdened for her children’s soul
*is a prayer warrior over her children’s future and their hearts
*loves them more than they will ever know (until they become a parent themselves)
I never understood the discipline, restrictions, or deep love my mom had for me until I became a parent myself. I am thankful for my mom who raised me to love and fear my God. My father was in the military so there were many months (up to a year) that she was by herself with us. She never complained about how hard it was to be alone with 3 little kids. She just continued along in her duty of motherhood. She is a prayer warrior and has a verse on her lips for each of our trials. I am grateful my children call her “Grandma”. Mom, I love you and appreciate everything you have done for me!
I hope you feel loved and honored this Mother’s Day!
