Happy Mother's Day!

(how sweet, right?)

Today's post comes straight from the heart. I have been going through alot lately. I won't go into it. But it is something that no woman ever wishes she had to go through. No wife. No mother. However, I am dealing with it right now. It is very hard. I have been praying so hard these past few weeks. Few days. I always pray. Many times a day...but these past few weeks, I have never prayed harder.

On the brighter side - I had a good Mother's Day with my boys. Nothing could take that away from me. I honestly didn't feel like attending services today. At all. By any means. However, E's baby dedication was today. So, I did it for him. Then he started his 'teething fuss' afterwards, so we left and took him to Mamaw's...while R.A. , the hubster, and myself went out for Mother's Day lunch. It was nice. I had a good time. It just isn't the same when something so devastating is happening in your life. It is like when someone dies around you, and everyone else is ok...and expects you to be okay too...but your not. You know?

You live in a 'different' world when you are going through something like that. I am getting through it though. R.A. made a craft today for me in Sunday school, and planted a pretty flower and decorating the cup. That made my day. Right there.*smiles* He told me over and over today, "Happy Mother's Day". And "I love you, Mommy". And I didn't have to ask him too. Isn't that what real love is? When someone loves you with no conditions.

God's love is like that. For that, I am truly grateful.

Anyway, on to better, happier things.

...I hope you all enjoyed today's post. Happy Mother's Day to all you Moms out there!...
