Mother's day

Mother's day is such a special day for me, bc I remember how many mother's days i dreaded it as we were trying to adopt.  How hard it was to want so desperately to be a mommy.  I feel for all those women who have to endure mother's day who are trying to conceive or adopt or have lost a child.  It was also special because Cooper was "dedicated" to the Lord.  Way before we had children God impressed on us the significance of raising children to love, honor, worship and serve the Lord.  That it is our responsibility as parents to show them and teach them who God is and HIS Word.  So on mothers day we went before the church to mutually commit with the church body to focus on pointing Cooper constantly in a Godward direction.

Also:

My two little men gave me a bracelet each, with Scripture on it.  I loved them.  And my sweet kevin bought me some TOMS SHOES.  They made me feel so special.  We had left over pizza for lunch which was totally awesome because I didn't have to cook and we didn't have the stress of eating out.  I HATE eating out.....especially on mother's day, because it takes forever and the boys are toooooooo cranky and tired to sit in a restaurant.

Those who sow in tears will reap with songs of joy.....Ps. 126:5
