Mother's Day

I am counting my blessings this day. I am a mother! There were so many times, in my twenties, when I didn't think that this would happen for me. And when it did my heart sang. When it happened a second time I thought all was right in my world.

I have two of the most compassionate, sweetest sons a mother could ever want. If I could have put in a special request, these are the boys I would have chosen. They make every day a special day for me. And I can't believe it's gone by so fast already; they are now 19 and 17!


But -- if ever I doubt the Lord's love for me, all I need to do is to look into the faces of these precious lambs He entrusted to me, and I know I am loved!

What a sweet post Maureen. You are most definitely loved and you do have two of the sweetest, most well mannered boys that I have ever seen in my life. Happy Mothers Day!

I have to agree with the others. Your boys are definitly the kindest most well mannered teenagers that I know. You have done a great job! Hopefully I can use your example to help me with my boys. Happy Mother's Day!!!

We only had a few hours with your amazing boys and we were so impressed!! We loved them from the moment we met them! They are such a blessing and I pray that my boys will turn out as wonderful as they are!!!

You're on a roll for getting me to tear up today! I saw AJ waiting for you after RS and thought it was the cutest thing, like walking your high school sweetheart to class. Sometimes those babies we wait for are that much more wonderful.
