A special day

Mother's Day is a day that can be both joyful and difficult for so many. I personally had the joy of getting to spend time this weekend with my grandmother, mother, mother-in-law, and all four of my children(minus one in China). An added plus was the fact that my wonderful husband cooked dinner for us Saturday evening. I also realized what a difficult day it was for so many. I have dear friends that have lost children and parents recently. This is a day that makes that pain even more real. I pray that the God of comfort gives each of them a peace that passes all understanding.

It is also a day when I can reflect on the absolute privilege God has given me as He has entrusted me to raise His children that another mother could not raise. I don't take this blessing lightly and realize it is only through His love and compassion that I am able to do this.

So whether today was a great day or a difficult day for you, I wish you my bloggy buddies a

Happy Mother's Day

This was also a weekend that we had the blessing of enjoying Brandon's senior prom.
Here are a few pictures from our weekend.














This first photo is Tia and daddy on the way to Camp Grady Spruce for the week. They had a blast! Then prom photos and finally a photo of my grandmother at her tea party. Sorry, Mom, I didn't post your photo, but I knew you didn't like that one!
