Mother's Day

To me, every day is Mother’s Day.  Each day I get to celebrate being the mother of the two miracles God gave Andy and me as gifts – perfect gifts.  People often wonder if I would change anything about my two gifts.  My answer is always the same – not a thing.  They are “fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139:14).  I, as a person and as a mother, have learned so much from them. They have taught me to be more patient, understanding, gracious, loving and considerate.  They have taught me not to judge others by what I see.  Each day with them is a blessing.  I have a new thing to learn from them.  Maybe, if I am lucky, I can teach them a thing or two.  Each day is full of surprises.  Each day is full of wonder as I watch my gifts grow and learn to do new things.  I like Mother’s Day but two days mean much more to me than that day - November 6 and October 7.
