Happy Mother’s Day Sunday Friends! 

My mom left the earth three years ago… and I still think about her every single day! My grandmother lost two children and her husband over the past three years… and I pray for her every day! I pray also for the childless ladies, kids without moms, and moms who have lost their children. God be with you all and give you GRACE and JOY on this beautiful day! 

Yesterday, Emily and I drove to Richmond to see Coree and Heaven off to Prom. I had NO IDEA how much FUN that whole experience would be! All these years I couldn’t figure out why parents got so whacky about this. I mean it’s just a dance… and so what, you’re kids are a little dressed up, right? Wrong… VERY wrong people! 

I just cant explain it… and neither can you until it happens! Seeing you kids all beautified and loving all that attention they are getting… watching them SMILE like crazy… and LAUGH their heads off… and… Oh, and TAKING PICTURES! Let me tell you! Wayne, Robin, Dave, Millie, Merle, Emily, and I… we were the WILDEST paparazzi EVER! We were elbowing each other… and GROWLING at each other… flashes going every second for something like 45 minutes (or more)! 

I love my kids… SO MUCH! That experience was a MUCH BIGGER deal than I had estimated. Thank God for kids… and thank God for all the many experiences we enjoy through our loving FAMILIES! Life is good! 

Happy Mother’s Day to all you MOMS in my bloggies circle! I hope you gals get the red carpet treatment ALL DAY LONG! I’m getting ready to cook the Mother of my children some PANCAKES for breakfast in bed… and then I’m going to give her a few lovely gifts… and a card… and I’m gonna tell her how special she is to me… and then I’m going to give her a pedicure (just kidding about this!)… and then I’m going to wash the dishes and do a load of laundry… and make the bed… and walk the dogs… and then, I’m heading for church to INSPIRE all the other MOMS in our community… and after that, just doing whatever Emily wants to do today!

Remember guys… we always REAP what we SOW… and Father’s Day is JUST AHEAD! LOL

Proverbs 31:25-31 

²⁵ She is clothed with strength and dignity,
      and she laughs without fear of the future.
 ²⁶ When she speaks, her words are wise,
      and she gives instructions with kindness.
 ²⁷ She carefully watches everything in her household
      and suffers nothing from laziness.

 ²⁸ Her children stand and bless her.
      Her husband praises her:
 ²⁹ “There are many virtuous and capable women in the world,
      but you surpass them all!”

 ³⁰ Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last;
      but a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised.
 ³¹ Reward her for all she has done.
      Let her deeds publicly declare her praise.

Ok… well, I better GET TO WORK… no time to linger this morning… I’m a BUSY LITTLE CHUCKY TODAY… tottalooo everyone!
