My Oldest's Gift

I never cease to be amazed by what a blessing my children can be. Even in all the craziness of life God reminds me of how blessed I am as a wife and mother. He does it in so many unique ways dishes washed, laundry done, funny jokes, hugs and kisses; but today I received something extra special from my oldest son.

He made me a very special card. Seeing these words upon the page was amazing.

"Mom, I'm talking to the Lord today asking Him to bless you in every way.
Your birthday is a heart felt day for me, because you'll own my heart eternally.
Lord, please care for my sweet loving mother, who gives us so much she's unlike any other.
Lord, please give her happiness and more; love her; my mother, whom I adore.

Love you lots,
Happy Birthday,
Jerod"

May God bless each of you in a special way like He did for me today.

Birthday Blessings

My birthday was so full of wonderful things. I had great cinnamon rolls, being spoiled while shopping with my mom-in-law, yummy lunch with my hubby and mom-in-law. Great birthday greetings from each of my children. Being sung Happy Birthday by a great 9-10 year old baseball team. Tons of facebook wishes and texts from my friends and family. A special phone call from my sister. It was just a great day. Thanks to everyone who made me feel so special.
