"And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity"
(Colossians 3:14).
Celebrating Mother's Day.Celebrating LOVE.
Celebrating being a mom.
Celebrating my mom and my mother-in-law.
Celebrating birth moms who chose life and showed such deep love.
Some days I just don't feel like celebrating.
We're dealing with teenage issues, toddler tantrums, RAD, and other various challenges.
BUT, it's LOVE that binds everything together.
It's love that can forgive.
It's love that can heal.
It's love that is patient.
It's love that calms.
It's love that brings joy.
It's love that brings smiles.
It's love that trumps everything else.
It's God's perfect love that makes all those things possible. He loved us first, so that we are able to love others.
It's because of His love that I rejoice in Him and give thanks to Him for the love He has showed me and the immense love that I have for my precious children.
It's because of His love that I am able to celebrate Mother's Day, not just yesterday, but everyday of the year!!
Continuing to give thanks...
-the gift of my 5 precious children
-participating in the grade six's Poetry Cafe/Mother's Day tea
-how he was so pleased that I could attend the Cafe (and how understanding he would be if I couldn't attend)!
-my awesome mom who was able to babysit for an hour so I could attend the Cafe
-enjoying fellowship with other beautiful grade six moms
-his gift for public speaking
-my youthful, fun loving mom
-her sweet, loving exemplary character
-how Deborah likes to "include" the dog during bath time
-his super adorable smile and how his left eyebrow lifts up when he smiles
I'm feeling so blessed! Thank-you, LORD!
