Mothers Day..."recap"

5:30-8:15: Getting everyone ready for church...fed...dressed...combed...belted...shoed...

8:30-10:00: Worship...fantastic worship! Mixed with lots of shshshs..."sit up"s...a couple of trips to the bathroom...but great worship!

10:10-10:40: COFFEE

10:45-12:20: Deposit children in classes AhAhAh more coffee

12:25-12:40: Look for HC...retrace steps to reclaim forgotten sweaters...crafts...purses...Bibles...papers...

HOME to an enjoyable afternoon of fun playing with the kids.

6:00: Go to pick up dinner as a family...
6:05: Turn around b/c HC forgot his wallet and I didn't bring my purse...
6:10: Back home to retrieve wallet...OH, my purse was in the car after all **oops**
7:00: Nice meal that I didn't have to make!!!!!!!
And now, I have to thank the "little people" because without them I wouldn't get to celebrate this day...

I wouldn't get to answer to "Mom"...

I wouldn't get to see him grow into a fine young man, who loves God...
I wouldn't get to help her cultivate her desire to nurture...
Without them, I wouldn't get to see her excitement over life...
Or kiss his little sweaty face after a fun afternoon of play...
Without them I wouldn't get to sing sweet songs about Jesus in her ear late at night...
Without them I wouldn't get to listen to night time prayers so pure and honest...it's convicting...
I thank God for them...
The privilege of mothering them is daunting...and rewarding...scary...and comforting...
Am I up for the task?
Not in my own strength...
But I can do all things through Him who gives me strength! Philippians 4:13
It was a wonderful day indeed!!
