On Mothers

Look at these pictures of Lucy.  Don't you just want to laugh out loud?  It's been over the past few months that Lucy's personality has really started to return.  Erik and I have loved watching her spring back to life recently.  What a reminder of how good God is and what a miracle Lucy's life is.

Today we spent our afternoon swimming and playing with friends.  It is days like today that I am reminded how blessed I am and what a wonderful family I have.  My children, my friends and especially my husband.  I am so grateful for his role in allowing me to become a mother and for how hard he works to provide of our family.

Happy Mother's Day to all you moms out there.  I praise you for the job you are doing….the hardest job in the entire world.  I am also saying a prayer for those of you who are without your moms this weekend.  Having come so close to losing my mom, I can't imagine spending tomorrow without her.

Being a mom.  The most rewarding and challenging job on earth.  There is nothing else I want to do.  This is the job I was called to do.
