Mother's Day...
It is my favorite holiday, which is fitting, since being a mother is the most amazingly challenging and fulfilling role I'll ever have.
And so this week, I'd like to pay tribute to all the mothers out there, to all the strong and loving husbands who stand behind these amazing moms, and to all the precious children who bless their mothers' hearts and lives.
A Mother's Prayer
by Mary A. Loberg
Help me dear Lord, as a mother, I pray
And bless these hands folded in prayer today;
And bless these hands folded in prayer today;
May they be ever strong as they guide, as they teach,
Being never too far for a child to reach.
Being never too far for a child to reach.
May they never, with selfishness, try to dissuade,
Nor too quickly punish, nor too slowly aid.
Nor too quickly punish, nor too slowly aid.
May they point out the pleasures in laughter and song,
And may they show, wisely, the right from the wrong,
And may they show, wisely, the right from the wrong,
So that one day I’ll know that I’ve helped all I can
To make her a woman, to make him a man.
To make her a woman, to make him a man.
A special thank you to the special mothers in my life.
To my mother-in-law, who has treated my like her own from the first day we met.
I love you, Mom.
To my own mother, who taught me by example how to be the very best mother I could be.
I love you, Mom.
And to my precious precious babies.
Being your mommy fills my life with more joy than I ever thought possible and more than I will ever deserve.
I will love you three forever.
(special thanks to dear friend Rebecca Cooper for capturing me with my babies!)
Happy Mother's Day!
