Mother's Day Inspriation! ...and the winner
May. 9, 2008 • 11:11 AM
It's time to pick a winner to my first bloggy giveaway
but before I do, I want to show a Mother's Day post with you!
I really enjoyed reading all the comments for this giveaway and I wanted to share them with you all for Mother’s Day!
Here are some of the great things that were said about being a mother…
…my children taught me to treasure every minute no matter how short, cling to God’s comfort …that snakes, spiders, and dirt 
are part of God’s creation, too! 
…being a mom rocks!
…I love watching my children grow, helping them learn, getting little mementos on a daily basis, hearing them pray, watching them make right decisions when they do, seeing their individuality come out, crazy clothing choices, & lots of hugs
…being a mother has taught me so much about how God loves us!
…it’s so sweet to watch my children interact with people in ways that leave them feeling good inside
…the Lord has taught ME so much more than I could ever teach my children just by letting me be their mother!
…I am so blessed to have my children home with me everyday. We learn together, play together, and pray together.
…I love how my children love life and how they are eager to share that life and love for life and Jesus with each other
…they show me my weakness and sin. They show me that I need Jesus to make it through my day and sometimes moment by moment!
…children are amazing gifts from God... with their own special talents
…it’s an awesome gift to be a mother!
…especially love seeing their relationship with the Lord grow
…it is a privilege to be able to raise my children for the Lord. I know there are many that long to be mothers and are not, so I am very thankful
…so thankful that God has given me a whole flock of children…He has used each one to mold me to be more like our Heavenly Father …Chances are, I will have more character building in the future but I count it all joy
…my children pick me dandelions, hug me when I cry, are always full of hugs and kisses for me, always tell me that they love me. I know God has entrusted these sweet souls to me and that is such a wonderful blessing in itself
…so happy to be a mom…it’s all I ever wanted to be!
…being a mom is hard work for sure but knowing that I am raising the future generation to love God and do HIS work here on earth is so worth it.
…there is no greater blessing than being a mom. …through my children I reflect on God’s love for us as His children …He uses them daily to open my eyes to HIS longsuffering and forgiveness.
…I have learned patience, empathy, and so much more since I have been blessed with my children
…my husband tell me all the time “You’re livin’ your dream.” And he’s right I am!
…children are both treasures and tools! Their joy, laughter and love make me rich beyond measure.
…I am thankful for snuggle time- it the most precious time and it makes me thankful for the opportunity to have these sweet blessing in my home
…so blessed to have teenagers doing what is right and following the Lord
… I am proud of my kid’s creativity, imagination and incredible brains, but the biggest blessing I get from being a mom is to see my kids grow in love.
My thoughts…”Moms are busy people and it can be easy to start relying on self and not FULLY rely on Him. I have grown so much by my kids but never more than when I just let the Lord lead me and help me. I always try to remind myself to make sure the things that count for eternity, count the most in our lives and schedules!!!
Moms… God has given us an awesome responsibility and a precious privilege in being a mother. Motherhood is a high calling and very important to the Lord. We have an in-house mission field! The joys in motherhood are wonderful and precious treasures that can be easily missed if we don't seize the opportunity to grab them each and every day!
Leave a legacy: Choose to love, Choose to show God’s love!”
Enjoy this song and video!
Earthly prizes can NOT compare to our reward in Heaven if we seek and ask the Lord into our lives!
All you mothers...good and faithful servants... may I encourage you to continue to glorify His name, seek Him diligently and tell and show others HIS love.
without further ado...
