Me! 😀

I’m grateful for my Mom! ❤ I’m grateful that she gave me life. I’m grateful for her prayers. She is an amazing prayer warrior & inspires me to do better, be better. I’m grateful for the time she takes each week to listen to me, pray with me, give godly wisdom. Happy birthday, Mom! I love you!

I’m grateful for each of my kids, each of the special 8 who made me a Mom. Time sure flies! I can remember when we first found out we were expecting. Each time has been special. Each child has a special place in my heart. I’m glad they’re all different & grateful for what they each have taught me & continue to teach me.

This month is a bit hard, we had thought we’d be expecting a new little one. Instead, they are in the loving arms of our heavenly Father. I can’t wish them back! 💜 💔 But, the pain feels fresh again, for all of us.

I’m grateful for the hard, because it brings me to my knees. It draws me ever closer to my gracious, forgiving, merciful Father. I’m grateful for what we learn through the hard.

I’m choosing to be thankful for the pain. Would I rather it be gone? Absolutely! But, as Paul, I have prayed for it to be taken away, & God has said “No” or at least “Not yet.” I can only pray that I learn what He wants to teach me through it all.

I’m grateful for date nights, anniversary getaways, for individual dates with my kids and each and every opportunity draw closer to my loved ones. 😍
