Today got me to thinking a lot. This is a day we celebrate the mother's in our lives, but it's often a difficult day for many, for many different reasons... but today is a day to make me grateful!
Mother's Day has a new meaning for me this year. I sure love my darling daughter. The world is never going to look the same to me. My perspective on life has forever changed, and I'm okay with that.
I don't know how I got to be so lucky. Heavenly Father blessed me with a baby... something I never thought I'd have. Not only did I get a baby and a fabulous husband, but I was blessed with the most AMAZING mother and mother-in-law. Seriously! They are both darling. I was also blessed with wonderful sisters and sister-in-laws who are also darling! I'm so so grateful to have so many wonderful things in my life.
A BIG thanks to ALL the women in my life who have helped me as I put on my own mommy shoes. Thanks for helping me transition. I couldn't have done it without you.
And Mom, I love you! Even though I don't get to see you today, my thoughts are with you. You are the one who gave me life, and I can't thank you enough for that. You watched me grow up, and allowed me to make choices, but most importantly, you taught me about my Heavenly Father and His son, Jesus Christ and for that, I'll be eternally grateful! :)
Oh.... one last thing. If you made it to the bottom of this post, I thought I'd share
this. It makes me smile on days that I struggle, and gives me hope. I hope it will do the same for you.
Happy Mother's Day!!!
