This is what I woke up to this morning as my son Timmy left for work. Sometimes as mothers we wonder and get discouraged as we pour ourselves out for our children and give up our own wants and needs for the needs and wants of our children. Being blessed with six children of an age span from 4 years up to 23 creates a challenge sometimes to find time for yourself, (as I type this I'm putting on a small rubber dress for Princess Bell for my little Lilybeth). :-)
Often I wonder especially when they are in their teen and young adult life, will they ever understand how much we love them and how often we turn the other cheek. Reading this note and looking at these beautiful flower (it could have been weeds and I wouldn't have cared) I could do nothing but cry. I was weary and discouraged and then God comes and blesses me in this gentle way through my son.
Thank you Lord

Makes me want to cry, too. How sweet...
