I am a little late on this post but the longer I take to write it the more I have to add to it! I wanted to write and wish my mom a happy birthday! She turned 50 on December 26 so yes I am very late! I am so blessed to have the most amazing mom in the whole world! We wanted to do something extra special for my mom for her 50th birthday party so we decided to collect letters from friends and family and create a book of 50 years of memories. It was before Christmas and I knew people were really busy so I didn’t know how many I would get but I got email after email of letters to my mom. I loved her so much before but as I read the letters people wrote to her I grew to love her even more!! She has influenced so many people throughout her life. If you know my mom you know how bubbly and happy she is. Her smile is gorgeous and completely contagious! She leaves happiness wherever she goes. We go to Walmart and she has the cashier sharing recipes or giving movie suggestions! She loves life and lives it to the fullest. She has been a wonderful example of Christ like service and love. She would do anything for anyone and I want to be just like her.
Since her birthday my mom and I have had a lot of time together and have had a blast! She and I are both trying to decorate new houses so after each holiday she goes to stores while I am working and she buys us lots and lots of holiday decorations that go on sale. She went to Hobby Lobby and got us tons of Christmas decorations and the cutes purple tree for Halloween! I can’t wait for next October to put it up! Roberts was going out of business and she waited in line for hours to get 90% off- that is love! I am so grateful for my mom!
I spent this last weekend at my parents house in Alpine and we spent every minute working on something. My mom helped me paint an adorable frame she got me for Christmas and helped me make the cutest pincushion for my new sewing machine! We have so many projects on our list of things to do and I am grateful to have a mom that can do anything and everything!
I truly wish I could express how grateful I am for my mom and all she does for me. I know that God must have loved me so much to bless me with such an amazing mother. She is my angel! This is one of my favorite stories about mothers and it reminds me of my angel mother!
A baby asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?"
"Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you."
The child further inquired, "But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy."
God said, "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy."
Again the child asked, "And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don't know the language?"
God said, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak."
"And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"
God said, "Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray."
"Who will protect me?"
God said, "Your angel will defend you even if it means risking her life."
"But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore."
God said, "Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you."
At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, "God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel's name."
"You will simply call her, 'Mom.'"
This is a song by Lauren Alaina called Like My Mother Does and I love it! I want to live my life like my mother does! Love you Mom!
