Mother's Day

{Mother's Day morning, my Darling and our beautiful girls!}

My dad, sister and I had been planning a special day for my mom. Scott, the girls, and I surprised her by showing up at church, then we managed to surprise her even more by making lunch! We snuck away after church and my sisters and I put together an elegant table and lunch for everyone. My mom was delighted and we had a wonderful afternoon!

My sweet husband gave me two of my favorite things:

The most amazing cookbook I have ever seen

 and my most favorite ice cream ever!

I am glad there is a day devoted to mothers. 

Mothers through the ages have sacrificed and worked hard for their children. 

I am so thankful for my mom!

And I am incredibly blessed to be a mom, 

to these charming little girls

and their sibling in heaven.

My greatest joy would be to know that all my children will meet in the presence of God one day-

because the goal of my motherhood

is that Jesus is Lord, in every space of our lives.
