Mother's Day 2019: My Tribute

Ah, Mother's Day...a time when we go out shopping for that one special gift that is supposed sum up the amount of love and gratitude we have for our mothers. There is no gift that could even come close to showing how much I love my mom.
Meet my mom:



She is the best. She is the most selfless person I know. Not long after I was born, my parents separated and eventually got a divorce (but got back together and remarried within a year). My mom has taken care of me from day one. She made sure I was fed, clothed, bathed, and had all of the love and attention I needed. She also took me to church so I could hear how much Jesus loves me and eventually accept Him as my Savior. 
Her mothering didn't stop with me and my sister though. She loves my kids well. She has always been more than willing to help out in any way she could. Now she is also taking on a new role of helping "mother" her own mom. It isn't anything full time but I know that she will do whatever she needs to do if/when that full-time care giver role is needed.
She shows me daily, by example, how to be a good mom, daughter, and granddaughter.
No, my mom isn't perfect...she is human, and humans make mistakes...BUT she is the perfect mom for me and the perfect Nanny for my kids.
Thank you mom for all that you have done to take care of me. Thank you for taking an active part in the lives of my children. You have set the bar high. I pray that I will carry on that selfless, giving, legacy to my kids and beyond.

"Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised." Proverbs 31:30

Much Love,
Beth

Friday Favorites

  Happy Friday, friends! Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday favorites. And here they are in no particular order: Last week our preacher told us that he had a surprise for us next week.  I had honestly forgotten about it until Carl mentioned at lunch on Sunday.  Trey said he knew what it was, but he wasn't telling.  It still didn't occur to me what it could be until we arrived at church on Sunday night, and I saw that Trey had a notebook along with his Bible sitting next to him on our pew.  It was him. Trey was the surprise.  He gave a short devotion before our Business Meeting.  He did well, considering it was his first time.  He said the congregation was a lot scarier when you are the one being stared at! This is a big deal because about 7 months ago he realized that he needed Jesus as his Savior.  And that came after about 7 months of me worrying about him, while he was trying to stretch hi...

Friday Favorites

  Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for the first Friday Favorites of 2025! Over the past three weeks, I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to spend more time with Wrenley. She is growing up so much. She is speaking in full sentences and is a clown to boot! We've enjoyed lots of naps in BeBe's bed, playing with baby dolls (one of her favorite things), and since I have to pick her up before 7 a.m. on the days she stays with me, we enjoy getting her favorites: donuts (nonuts) and hotcakes from McDonald's -not at the same time though! Snug as a bug in a rug! She loves her Ky Ky Another favorite is a clean kitchen! We have had our house in a bit of chaos like I'm sure everyone else has with all the holiday festivities (and with Carl being off). I am glad to have everything in its proper place! That ray of sunshine is therapy for my soul! The next thing on my favorites list is Carl's chili. We had it last night and will probably have leftovers for a few day...

Friday Favorites

 Happy January 74th! Ok but really, why does January seem to go on FOREVER?! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for Friday Favorites! This was definitely a favorite moment from this week!  Our 47th President, Donald J. Trump! Since Monday was also MLK day, I had the pleasure of watching sweet Wrenley.  Celebrating my niece, Ellie Kate's 15th birthday was definitely a favorite! I also watched Wrenley on Wednesday because she was a little under the weather. She had fun playing and getting lots of ice cream and popsicles! Wrenley will always be my favorite. On this day she wanted to "work" like BeBe. She's so precious, even with her little bedhead! Good Music is a favorite. Play some old-school country music and we are golden :) My favorite meal this week. It seems like forever since I made a home-cooked meal! Cajun baked chicken, corn (because Trey loves corn), broccoli, mashed potatoes with white gravy, and rolls were on the menu, and every...
