As I approach Mother's Day I am thinking today about Mom and what all she has taught me over the years. I realized how much my mom loved me when I had Chloe and then again with Lauren.
Mom has taught me the ways of the Lord, first and foremost. She is still my prayer warrior. She has taught me about marriage commitment. She and Dad really had some rough years after his accident and I am so proud of her for standing by him through that time. I know it was only with the help of the Lord. Mom has such empathy for others and her example of giving has been great. She gives candy to all waitress/waiters, and lot of little surprises for her grand kids, kids, well, just about anyone really. God has used her to be an encourager even when she was facing discouraging situations. Isn't that how God works - He reveals himself when we are our weakest. My prayer as a mom is that my girls will grow to be wonderful women of God. I pray they desire the ways of the Lord. I also want them to have empathy like mom. To show others the love of Christ expecting nothing in return.
Happy Mother's Day to all you Mom's out there! Go show your Momma some lovin' :)

Amy, I can't tell you how much your comments touched me about your mom. You know, I remember when we were 14 and 15 and she would sit with us and talk to us about prayer and the Lord. I just remember her telling me, "we gotta pray, we gotta pray". I remember her being a prayer warrior then. Praise God!
