Today has been a good day. It started with homemade cards and gifts from my sweet Conner and Caitlyn along with some hot tea. Church was great this morning, and I was given a wonderful treat-a chocolate bar! After church we took my awesome mom to lunch. She is such an incredible woman, and I can't imagine my life without her. I admire her perseverance and love for the Lord. She got to choose lunch, and her pick was Spring Creek. They made it a special lunch by handing out free bowls of ice cream and a flower to each mom!
The rest of the day I enjoyed a lazy day at home. As I think about what a blessing it is to be a mom, I can't help but think of Proverbs 31:28. It is my prayer that, "Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her." There are so many days that I feel like such a failure as a mother. I am so thankful for the love, grace, and forgiveness of Jesus Christ!
As much as I have enjoyed this day, my heart has been really heavy today. A single mom was brought to mind today, and I started to wonder...was she told today how special she is? Does she know how appreciated she is? I have really wrestled with these thoughts today. Is there something I can do to let her know? If so, what? I'm praying for wisdom in this area!
