Yesterday Scott's mom and sister's family came over for a late lunch/early dinner. I had the girls go pick these mustard flowers from our back lot. They looked better yesterday. I put some lemon halves in the bottom of the vase. It was so pretty and festive! We had a grand time just talking, eating, and enjoying the fellowship!
It has taken me a long time and many years to get to the point that all I really want on Mother's Day is exactly what I have...two precious girls and a husband who I know, regardless of whether he tells me every day or not, adores me! My girls are so tenderhearted and my honey works hard for the best of all his girls. I hear friends talk about how their husbands treat them to a whole day "off", spa days, breakfast in bed, flowers, cards, etc. I was happy with the card signed the morning of and the opportunity to cuddle on the couch after the girls were in bed. My honey works so hard, each and every day, so I can be at home. In all actuality, this Mother's Day made me reflect on how I want to try harder to be more intentional in serving my family.

Totally agree, Cara! I remember 5-6 years ago being upset inside cause I didn't get that piece of jewelry or something on Mother's Day morning. Almost mad because they didn't "GIVE ME" what I thought they should have given me. Or one year after that me telling Mike to not get me anything and then me being sad when they really didn't get me anything. HA
I also hear people talk of spa days and big expensive gifts like it's their birthday or something and all I can think about is PROVERBS 31. All I want to do is please the Lord. I want to be a good Mother and an excellent Wife. I want to serve and not be served.
I can honestly (FINALLY) say that a HUG & a KISS is ALL I really hope for from my family.
