Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms out there! A mother's love is one of the first loves we know. She nurtured us; provided for us. She was there when we took our first steps and said our first words. I am blessed to have a mother who not only knew the importance of taking care of my physical needs, but also my spiritual needs. She took me to church as a small child and made sure that I knew that even though she loved me more than I could ever know, there was someone who loved more...Jesus. It was (and still is) important to her. She tried her best to make sure I had the opportunity to know Jesus on a personal level and accept His salvation. That is the greatest thing she has ever done for me.
It is because of her love for me that I know Christ as my Savior and that I have followed in her footsteps and made sure that my kids had that same opportunity.
I am not saying that she is perfect...she is human. I am certainly not saying that I am perfect. I fail daily. She is however, one of the most unselfish, caring people I know.
It's funny the things people say that just stick with you. Way back when I was a freshman in high school a former teacher of mine told me to be good to my mom because she would be my best friend one day. Of course I was like, yeah right. There is no way she will be my best friend! I can honestly say that she is my best friend. We talk several times a day EVERY day. She prays for me and I pray for her.
I am so very thankful that God chose me to be her daughter!

My Mom and Grammy
She has always been the best!
Me and my three babies!
I love them so much.
I had an awesome Mother's Day. We went to church, ate lunch at Grammy's, and hung out at the pool after church tonight. Oh, and I caught a quick Sunday afternoon nap. It was delightful!
Much Love,
Beth
