Mother's Day

I had an awesome Mother's Day, it started by getting called off from work. I was able to go to church, and Brother Darvie preached a sermon God must of known I needed. I always feel so special when I hear sermons on issues that lay heavy on my heart, it's almost as if God planned the entire thing just for me. The sermon was about a virtuous woman, a woman who first feared and loved God, then her family. She worked very hard making sure that she provided them with the things they needed. She always puts herself last, not on purpose, but just not even noticing she was doing it. Her heart was pure, not perfect, but filled with love of God and family. That's the way I want to be. It takes a lot of effort for me to try to be like her, because I'm selfish and I get tired sometimes, but I must keep working at it to get there.

After church we went to Brian's Mom's house and Harrison played her a song on his guitar, that's something she's been wanting him to do for sometime now. Then we visited with his grandma, and I got some good pics of the kids with her. Then after that we went down to the lake and let the little ones feed the ducks, and we looked at all the beautiful boats. Brian's eyes light up every time he thinks about a boat, he has wanted a new boat for our family for some time now. We can't afford one, especially now that we are trying to get Hadlee home. While we were walking back to the car Brian said "One day we will have one of those!" and I said "Just look at what you already have!" ( the three little ones were walking straight in front of us in a line) He said "I know." I love so many things about Brian, and one of them is that he works so hard to provide for our family, and he is a virtuous man. A man after God's own heart, and who holds mine in his hands. The best Mother's Day gift I will ever receive is being the Mother to that man's children. I love you Brian! -Jennifer-
