Happy Mother's Day!

Thinking of today, I realize that not all are fortunate to have their mothers here with them. I feel so blessed to not only have one great mother, but also a great mother-in-law! So.... Happy Mother's Day to you both!

Mom, thank you for always going out of your to make us happy! Your kids were the most important thing to you! And it was very evident in your life! I see you now with the triplets and what work it is for you, but there you are, faithful and constant! I hope to one day be as good of a mom as you are! You are strong! You are beautiful! And I love you so much!

Mom Hale, thank you for always being a good godly example! Watching you, I see what kind of mother I would like to be! Through your example, I will know how to pray for my own children! You are the nicest, most gentle, most selfless person I know! You are the perfect example of a Proverbs 31 lady! Thank you for sharing the throne of Jonathan's heart! I love you!
