38 years ago she gave up thinking about herself first...
38 years ago she gave up sleeping late into the morning...
38 years ago she gave up worrying only about herself...
38 years ago she gained a little bundle of joy...
38 years ago she gained a girl who would cry desperately seeking comfort...
38 years ago she gained a daughter who would break her heart with crazy hormone fits...
38 years ago she gained the unconditional love of a little girl looking up to her Mommy...
And 38 years later this Mother of 2 children wants to tell her Mom of 38 years THANK YOU!
Thank you for the sleepless nights when I was a baby and even when I was 18 years old home from college for the first time.
Thank you for giving up what would have been easier for you and thinking about me.
Thank you for being the calming source when my emotions got the best of me.
Thank you for being you and for being the best Mom I could ever hope for.
Continuing the Joy Dare of counting 1000 Gifts #652 - #672
- painful lesson of impatience
- stepping out & taking a risk
- morning sun breaking over the horizon
- helping out a friend
- coffee & donut date with my honey
- remembering to keep things in perspective
- freshly brushed teeth
- refreshing cold bubbles from an ice cold coke
- the chance to be the better person
- laundry, laundry everywhere
- toys all over the floor
- quiet grace
- a note from a friend
- 300 voices singing like a heavenly choir
- blessing of safe travel
- no little visitors in the night
- ground soaking rain
- God providing a way when there seemed to be no way
- showing me how to be a faithful wife
- a mom sacrificing her happiness to keep a promise
- loving me despite the hormonal teen years
