Motherless Mother's Day...but filled with joy anyway!

Today was a good day in spite of my missing my Momma so much.  I think that I did very well.  I focused on loving my kids and my husband and just went about as if it were any other day.  I do miss her, but I am so very thankful to know that she was saved and is in heaven waiting for us to join her.

I think my cough is slightly better though its really irritating just how long it is taking to resolve itself.  By time I finish the twelve days of prednisone, I'll be as big as a house.  It is making me so HUNGRY.  I could eat a horse.

I hope that your Mother's Day was blessed in its own way.  My dear husband and oldest son reworked our playground area, added a slide to our swingset, mulched the whole area and filled the sandbox with fresh clean sand.  What a mother's day blessing to be able to take the little ones outside and have a nicer place to play in!

a Blessing

We just started going to a church close by our home.  Its such a blessing after spending almost a year without a church home.  Today was the first day that I got to take the older boys with me as they were with their Dad last weekend.  They seemed to enjoy their classes(I was a little worried because they were in the same sunday school class).  Tonight before bedtime Jake brought me his Bible and his Sunday school papers and asked me if I would do his daily study with him. YES!!!  Absolutely.  I love that the curriculum they use is not only fun and engaging but has a daily Bible study included.  And I am so thankful and blessed that my son who accepted Christ at the tender age of four is still so eager to learn about God's word.  Thank you Jesus!
