Today is Mother's Day. I had a great day. Good service at church. Blessed by that. Got to spend time with some very special ladies in the church nursery loving on those sweet little babies.
I feel completely valued and loved. My kids did pictures of the grandchildren specifically for me. They even dressed them in purple (my favorite color). I love them. I love the pictures. I am so honored to have been given these beautiful daughters from God. I am completely blown away by the wonderful women they have become. They are just so great.
Wayne hung my new light fixture over the table in the dining room -- I didn't think he was going to do that, but was pleasantly surprised that he did. He bought me a very thoughtful gift. He loves me. I am totally blessed.
I got a sweet text from my little sister wishing me a Happy Mother's Day.
We had a good cookout with Wayne's mom at his sister Amy's house. Was surprised with a very thoughtful gift from the Israeli family that Amy has been working with (made me all misty-eyed).
Such good times with family. Catching up. Watching the children play with such gusto and abandon. Taking pictures. Eating way too much fabulous food. Talking with sisters-in-law. Enjoying my beautiful nieces and their wonderful kids. Loving this special celebration. Savoring the time together. Love my family. Feeling very emotional and tender hearted today.
Even still--as good as the day was--I miss my mother. I just do.
