Mom Minutes....

Last nite I had the pleasure of celebrating Mother's Day with my incredible daughters and the loves of their lives. My oldest daughter.. spoils my other daughter and I because we are the "Moms" as she puts it by fixing us our favorite things for dinner. The men and children do their part as well to fill in so Moms can sit and "be still".

It's always a time I look forward to, and I'm sure any Mom will agree... it doesn't really matter what you are doing with your kids.. even though we had an incredible dinner.. it's what is shared while we are together. Every family unit is a "unique bunch" I believe. Someone can share one word or a look and the rest can break into laughter as the memories of the past will come back to life in an instant. This to me is a gift that I will never take for granted or get tired of!

Being a Mom can be a scary thing. When they put that baby in your arms the first time and you are overwhelmed with the knowledge that there's no turning back.. you're the Mom.. the one everyone looks to that has that invisible instruction book that was delivered along with the child.. but after that feeling of panic passes... and you get to the everyday life of being a "mom".. pretty soon those days turn into years and you look back and wonder where did the time go? Did I do all that I could do?

We all fall short.. but thank God for His grace and love.. and for the understanding of those we love and love us.. I can honestly say being a Mom is the most rewarding thing I will ever do..so here's to our Mom's minutes!!
