Friday’s are usually for fun, foodie type posts, but seeing as how today will be the last post before Mother’s Day, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to wish all the mom’s out there a Happy Mother’s day.
I have the most amazing Mom - ever. Period.
No. Seriously.
You see growing up, I thought every one was fair. Honest. Loyal. Godly. Faithful.
Yeah…pretty much the whole 9 yards.

She learned it from her mother. (i.e., The best Nanny – ever. Period.)
I assumed everyone was like this.
However, over the past few years, I have discovered what a rare breed these two women are.
I may not be well-rested. I am definitely not skinny. I’m still not rich.
But I have three pretty “awesomesauce” kids.
That are, for the most part, pretty healthy. Pretty well-behaved. (Except at church, of course, where they can really embarrass you.) Pretty smart. And just overall, pretty much, the best things - ever. Period.
But if I never get enough sleep again,
If I never wear a size 2 again,
I was never rich, so I can’t say “again.”
But if I don’t accomplish anything else in life, one day, I want them to say that their mommy taught them how to be fair, honest, loyal, Godly and faithful.
Because really, that’s pretty much all that matters – ever. Period.
Hi there! Thanks for stopping by Busy at Home, Leah! I loved your comment about wood filler. :)
ReplyDeleteIt is so true about what is truly important. I hope my kids look back on these years and remember not our decor, or what size I wore, but that I pointed them to Jesus.
What a wonderful post about your mother and grandmother! Beautiful descriptions....I wish you Happy Mother's Day Too!
