i'm well aware of the lack of deep substantive thought on this here blog these days. not because i'm not thinkin' it, however! i'm certainly in a super busy season, and my time sitting in the chair in front of the computer is minuscule, at best. that is okay. my purpose here is to log the happenings of my bunch and i think this blog is still reflecting the season we're in~ so i'm good with that.
i had these flowers below looking gorgeous for over a week....still, these roses are more than just beautiful flowers. this Mother's Day they were a special reminder of the three moms whose children i am blessed enough to know and love. two for the first mothers of my two adopted sons and the third for the mom of E&H...
the special day we celebrate moms is emotional and weighty and layered to be sure, and these moms were in my heart and mind for the whole week in and around Mother's Day.
add to that my gratitude for my own amazing mom and my husband's equally awesome mother, and well, it was a bit of a special occasion to celebrate. i feel blessed and overwhelmed many days as a mom, in equal parts actually. the task is daunting, which feels understated....i'm thankful for a steadfast legacy of mothers who stuck to the grind on hard days, years challenging seasons :), and loved us well. i'm thankful that they modeled consistency and patience and strength. i'm thankful that they loved us unconditionally. i hope my kids see this in me~ that they know this and find security in it. i'm also thankful for a timely letter from my big kid, and the way God knew my heart could use a little lift. she has no idea how her words fell on my weary spirit and refreshed me...that is soooo how God works in my life. not luck, not coincidence~ rather His love and care and grace extended to me in a way that has me standing in awe. i'm undeserving and so very thankful.
