With Mother's Day coming up this weekend, I am reminded of all the things my children have done throughout the years that let me know they appreciate me as their mother.
One year, Mikki and Toni wrote me a book and drew pictures to coincide with the story they wrote. I still have those books and when I ran across them two weeks ago, my eyes began to mist. I remembered their small faces filled with joy when I opened their books and read them out loud. They smiled from ear to ear and hugged me close.
One year Jake detailed my car and it shined and looked brand new. Another time, he turned the dirt in my garden over so his mother could grow the flowers and vegetables she likes so much.
This year Daniel my oldest sent me a beautiful bonsai pink azalea plant to my workplace. I was so touched.
My children are the reasons, I strive to be the best mom ever. Sometimes, I do alright by them. Other times, I can only pray for God's grace to help me out. Nonetheless, if I had to do it over again, I would still be their mom.
Do you have any special memories of being a mother or of your own mother that you would like to share? If you do, share them and be a blessing to others.
