I am blessed to celebrate my 2nd Mothers Day this year. Today is a special day for me because my first born turned 15 months old and my soon to be second child turned 20 weeks old (half way point). So I can celebrate today knowing I officially have 1 1/2 kids!!! :)
Our Mothers are just incredible. It never fails that our Mothers spur us on to be better people and draw us closer to the Lord. When we have bad days, who is the best person to call? Our Moms. When we don't feel well and want to know what to take to feel better, who do we call? Our Moms. When we say we had a bad day, who calls us the next day to make sure it was better? Our Moms. When we feel bad or sad what is one of the first thoughts...."I want my Momma!".
Moms are the best! I am thankful to have 2 amazing Mothers in my life. My mom, Terry and Preston's mom, Betty.
They chose to have us, carry us for 9 months (me 10), labor and birth us, keep us, clean us, feed us, love us, change our diapers, teach us, play with us, put up with us, lose sleep for us, work diligently for us, cook for us, clean for us, taxi drive for us, pay bills for us, care for every need, train us, discipline us, teach us of a Savior who loves and died for us, released us to follow His plan for our lives, encourages us to continue on this journey, and still to this day is a foundation for us.
When I was in the hospital my Dr. told me. You can be anything in this world. You can be a Dr., a lawyer, a chef, a police officer, or a secretary one day and the next not. But, a mother, you can Never stop being a mother. As I think about our 2 mothers, they are just that. They still to this day take care of us and are our Mothers!!! Thanks Betty G and Terry.
Thanks to all the special women out there who have given their lives to call themselves Mothers. We are forever grateful and us young mothers will carry on the great legacy you have set before us.
Happy Mothers Day!!!!
