Today is your day!

Mommers,

I have observed in you qualities that all mothers should strive to attain. I've watched you smile and sing. I've watched you laugh and cry. I've seen you pray and play with your grandchildren. I've seen you joyful, I've seen you sad. I've watched while you quietly gave everything you had to your children, to the point where you were in need yourself, but you never asked for anything in return. You offer advice, companionship, hugs, wisdom, and hands waving over ears. You love to play games and just sit and talk. I've watched you cook, and clean. I've watched you dress the wounds of your grandchildren. I've seen your joy with each of their new accomplishments, no matter how small. One thing I have never, ever seen in you as long as I've known you is any hint of selfishness. You always, without fail, put everyone else's needs above your own. You are the epitome of what a Godly mother should strive to be. That I think, more than anything else, is what defines you. You are an amazing mother. Happy mothers day!

Matt
