Happy Mother’s Day!!!

I hope everyone is having a blessed Mother’s Day.  Today is a day to celebrate being a “Mom”.  I was going to do this post last night but my daughter started running fever yesterday and I am thinking she has strep throat.  I had to be a mom first so putting off this post was a must.  I just wanted to post some memorable mom-moments that I have captured in this post.  If you see your photo and leave a comment here, I will send you a complimentary 5×7 of the image posted.  Yes, you have to leave a comment in order to get the 5×7.  Sorry if you see it late.  You have to see this post and leave a comment by midnight tomorrow evening.  That’s midnight on Monday 05-10-2010 so it will actually be Tue. at 12am.  If you leave a comment after that it doesn’t qualify.  I’m sorry.  I hope you all are enjoying being a mom and get the respect you deserve.  I know being a mother requires us to put ourselves last and our children first.  That is what a mom does.

WORDS OF WISDOM:  Deny Self:  There is a cost to following Jesus.  You must abandon all selfish desires, carry whatever burden God sees fit for you to bear, and obediently follow Jesus.  Your eternal reward is worth the cost. (from A Mother’s Prayers for her children)

Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.”—————MATTHEW 16:24

Dear Lord, help us to guide our children to always follow You.  Lord help us to always guide our children to love You with all their hearts.  Amen.

 Thanks to my son for capturing this image of me and my daughter!  I think he may be my future partner photographer.
