They Call Me "Mom"

Happy Mother's Day!

What a special day it was today. I am so blessed to have the privilege to be called "Mom" or "Mommy" to four beautiful children. I also will have the privilege one day to hold my baby whom Jesus is now holding safely in His arms. I wanted to dedicate this blog to them and tell them how much they mean to me.

My beautiful daughter "a pearl of great price" is so special to me. She is very gifted and very fun to be with. I am so thankful for her friendship. She is a busy girl! We work together in the floral business and I love the designs that she puts together and to watch her creative mind at work. She works as nurse as well. She has experienced things that we can only imagine and it has brought her wisdom beyond her years. I am so proud of her. Some of my favorite times with her is when we are so tired that we begin to reminisce about "old" times and laugh so hard, we can't breathe! We are planning her wedding and it is such a blessed time. To see the way the Lord is just allowing all of the pieces to fall in place is such an amazing story. Soon I will "get" another son, and I can't wait for him to join our family. I love you both!

My #1 Son is "a mountain of strength, a teacher and an enlightened one". He has made me so proud. He is also very gifted physically, intellectually and has a big heart. He is so on fire for the Chiropractic profession. God is working mightily in His life and has placed him on a path that he could never have imagined. I love spending time with just the two of us. We talk on the phone often and I am so blessed to have him as a very special friend. He has encouraged me, prayed for me and amazed me by his maturity and his vision for health and life. He can't wait for the opportunity to teach the world how God has designed us to heal from "above, down, inside, out - ADIO". I love you!

My third child was a baby I never got to hold. We lost our baby at 14 weeks of pregnancy. Though our hearts were broken, we knew that God was faithful. We named our baby, Toby, meaning - "God is with us". We look forward to the day that we can hold our baby and until then God continues to heal my heart and dry my tears. Mommy loves you so much!

My fourth child or Baby A was born 100 minutes before his brother. He likes being the "oldest". He is "a prophet of God". He loves to learn and loves technology. He has a beautiful smile and always makes me laugh. He has been a "Mama's Boy" from the first time I held him. He is also gifted musically and is a great actor. I LOVE all of the hugs that he gives me and when he tells me everyday that he loves me. I love the way his mind is always working and to listen to all of his ideas. He LOVES to play games and is the "luckiest duck" in the family! He is always helping me do lots of things. I am so proud of him and can't wait to see what God has planned for his life! I love you Baby A!

And lastly, my Baby B. He will always be my baby - my "angel of God"! He reminds me so much of my oldest son. He loves to play sports, but is also very gifted intellectually. He loves bugs, little creatures and playing in water. He likes the Cubs and building fires in Grandpa's fire pit. He also loves to count my money. We love to look for shapes in the clouds together. He has seen LOTS of heart-shaped clouds and even a blue "W" on New Year's Day this year. We decided it was God's message to him that this is "THE YEAR FOR THE CUBBIES!" You heard it here first, folks! He loves to sit on my lap and for me to give him back rubs. I cherish this time in our lives. I love you Baby B!

Thank you, Lord, for the blessing of my children!
They have brought me so much love, so much life and so much laughter! You have been so good to me to allow me to be the mother of these beautiful lives! Bless each one and draw their hearts to their Heavenly Father who loves them perfectly! And help me to love them the best way that I can as their mother as I draw my strength and wisdom from you. I cherish every day knowing that we never have the promise of tomorrow.
Thank you for my own mother who taught me self-less love.
Lord, THANK YOU for my children and thank you for TODAY!
