Mother's Prayer
Happy Mother's Day to all you moms out there! My mother's day was fabulous. We spent the day at my parent's house eating and relaxing while the kids played in their barn, and rode their golf cart in the woods. We surprised my mom in the morning by showing up at their church. Their service starts at 9:00 so we had to be out of the house with all the kids by 8:00. We made it with no problem, but I can't help but wonder if it will be that easy with 4 kids. Hopefully this will be my last mother's day without our "little man".
Besides getting married to Jason, becoming a mom is the most rewarding, stressful, humbling, and amazing blessing in my life. I love the fact that I get the chance to be home with my girls and wish I could have this job forever. I know being a mom is a job I will forever have, but I will not have the job of raising them and shaping them forever. I came across a song that explains perfectly what I desire for my children.
You are a great mom, Jill! We are blessed to have you for our grandchildrens' mom and our daughter-in-law. Thanks for posting this song--it is a beautiful song and you sang it just as beautifully at Amalia's baptism. Love you!
Ditto to Jan's comment- except the part about being our grandchildrens' mom and our daughter in law. And the part about hearing you sing at Amalia's baptism. :) But yes, you are a great mom and I'm sure the other would be true if you were and we did but you aren't and we didn't. Oh man..... Crys O
