Mom

She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue. She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: "Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all." Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

- Proverbs 31: 25-31

Don’t forget – Mother’s day is this Sunday!

I am so blessed because God gave me three moms – my birth mother, my adoptive mother, and my mother-in-law.

I am thankful beyond measure for all three of these women.

My mother –in-law, I have to say is pretty much phenomenal - she raised my husband to be the loving and nurturing man that he is, and she has molded me into a better woman with her teachings. 

If I had to spend the rest of my life with only one person and it could not be my husband, I would choose my mother-in-law.

Some women do not have human children, but are “mom” to fur babies.

Some women step up and raise someone else’s child as their own through adoption or step parenting.

I believe that inside each woman is a little bit of a mom.

Moms are precious, in any capacity.

Tell them.

Show them.

Even if it is not YOUR mom, let someone know that you see the sacrifices they make and you appreciate them for being a mom.

Happy Mother’s Day!

(side note – sometimes dads have to be moms too – and they are every bit as precious, and should also receive honor)

Have a blessed day!
