Mother’s Day 2013……

I like to write.  And, the way I gift those I love is in writing about them….rather like a wood-craftsman making you a wooden bowl or beautiful pen.  Or, like a quilter making you a much beloved legacy quilt.  Perhaps it is like the crochet-er crafting you beautiful kitchen washrags or maybe even a knitter knitting you a warm and much-loved hat…

We gift to others what we know to do…be it good or average or not even good at all, if it comes from our heart….

There is no greater physical gift…

So, in honor of my much beloved mother…Mama….Mommy….I share with you past blogs I have written…and, would be honored if you would pause and read about my mother….you may find in my writing things shared in like-minded “motherhood” with yours.

But, for this mother’s day, I wanted to lay down my “pen”…a/k/a keyboard and share with you…my family and friends, what my words could never adequately say…

In photo….

Surrounded by her children….

I invite you to share a glimpse into the life of my mother…much beloved….much honored…

Much deserving of all we have as her children to offer…

And more…

Enjoy…

"A Mama Moment"…..with Madison, Kenton and Johnson            


Mother's Day is Sunday, and I have already received my   Mother's Day gift.....

All of my babies are home....


"Chicks are all in the nest" as we say .....

More than any jewelry for my body, parties in my honor, gifts all wrapped up and decked out in large bows, what I really want is...

The presence of my children....
I want time with them....

One on one, two on one, three on one.....

In whatever way God will allow.....I want their time....because I know it is precious.

I awoke this morning to three lightly shut doors, three well-worn laundry baskets ready for Sis's laundry and a garage full of college "stuff" which has found its home in our garage...for the summer.


And, I am brought to my knees in thanksgiving.....

For every moment shared with my children is a moment which adds life to my soul....

and purpose to my days....

They will leave our home some day....and, that will be a good thing. 


They will go with my blessing....

But, while I have them....I want to enjoy them...



Want to enjoy every single "Mama Moment" I am blessed to have....

I thank God for each and every one.....



~A Mama Moment

May I never miss a single one…..
