My Mom

Todays blog is about my Mom. It is her birthday today, and I have spent the whole day praying for and thinking about her, and I just wanted to tell you all some things about her. My mom is one of the most selfless people I know. She rarely does anything for herself, and she is always thinking about and doing everything she can for us kids. She always shows love, kindness and forgiveness, and whats more, she is full of wisdom and grace. I am constantly amazed. She always tells us that "when a kid is being really bad, what they need is a hug." and then there are times when you are the one that is being bad and don't even know why, and she gives you a hug. She always practices what she preaches. She has never once said something negative about her children that was not meant as a loving correction. 

Although it has not always been easy, we have had our share of struggles, she has always remained positive, and taught all of us to be thankful in every circumstance. There have been times when I had no clue what to do, and I will ask her advice, and in one sentence she has done away with my problem. My mom is not the kind of person that thrives in the crowd, or one that has grace for people to go on and on about their problems, but I have seen her be very gracious in both situations. Her heart is always  to do what is right and good, and to follow the Lord, even if that means that she has to do something that looks silly or stupid, or even offensive to some people. 

She has changed the lives of many people, and has asked nothing of them but that they seek the Lord and do what He asks of them. I hope one day that I can be a mother like her. I just wanted you all to know that.
