~The Least of These~ - Awesome Mother's Day...

11-May-2008 - Awesome Mother's Day...

I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day. I sure did! Harold and the kids made a delicious lunch (potroast, veggies, Oreo cheese cake, cherry cheese cake, Turtle Tracks ice cream--yep, mostly dessert, my kind of meal)! They set the table, took care of all the details and I didn't have to lift a finger!

We also had my parents over for lunch, which was nice. They have been such a support to us, especially these last few weeks. We've been passing around strep throat and have had several doctor appointments for other things, and they are so sweet to keep the kids (the ones who don't have to or want to go) for me when I have to be on the go.

After my wonderful lunch, we visited with my mom & dad for a while, then after they left, the kids played and I took a nap--talk about a blissful day! This evening we watched a movie together and now everyone is in bed.

This will be another busy week with three or four appointments and working to keep up with our school work between times.

Church was awesome today as well. I say awesome because I just LOVE the way our church does Mother's Day. We DON'T do it. Now, don't get me wrong. The pastor does wish a Happy Mother's Day from the pulpit, and he does recognize the worth and work of moms. BUT, we DON'T put the spotlight on old, young, new and most children. And we certainly don't have all the moms in the congregation stand up to be recognized and give them a flower or whatever! Why? Well, have you ever been sitting in the pews on Mother's Day, childless, and longing so much for a child that you think you are going to die, wishing with all your heart you could stand up and be counted among the blessed? Now, THAT's miserable, I know. And I think it is so wonderful that we don't put women through that.

Well, that's my soapbox for the day. I'll step down now and give someone else the floor! :) Have a great Monday!
