I feel so lucky that I get to spend time with my mother and sister, and share so much of my life with them. Once you become a mother and experience the incredible depth of love for your child, it is instantly clear how much your own mother has loved you, how much she has sacrificed for you, and how she has dedicated so much of her heart for your well-being and happiness. I am beyond blessed to have two amazing "mother" role-models. My mother has spent her life loving me and treasuring my spirit. She has cared for my needs, but also made me feel so special and valued by being present in the moments of my life. I love to sit in my sister's backyard, watch her four beautiful children playing with each other, and see all the love that comes from nurturing a family, from dedicating your heart to the well-being of your children, and allowing them to develop into the amazing individuals they are. Thank God for mothers and all the blessings they bring into our lives, and thank God for my own mother and sister, who I have the privilege of sharing this journey with!
Hey, great pic! What fun to be a subject of your blog! :) I simply must comment...since I just thrashed Mary Kate about taking too much time about going to bed (and she was working on school work no less), I'm not feeling like Mother -of-the-Day, let alone Mother-of-the-Year!
ReplyDeleteBut, thanks for the shout out and for the cute pic and for the day. We love spending time with you guys...wish we could do it all the time. You are an amazing mom! :)
