THEN and NOW

THEN:

When I had my first baby I expected Mothers Day to be a day off. A day when I didn't have to CHANGE a diaper at all or COOK. I would be SHOWERED with GIFTS and PRAISE. I expected to get breakfast in bed and that I wouldn't have to lift one dish to CLEAN. I could sit, RELAX and just be SERVED all day.

NOW:

After six kids and 13 Mothers Day's I know I'm the one that needs to CHANGE.

It's a privilege to COOK for my family. It's an accomplishment  to have SHOWERED 

before the kids wake. GIFTS will come and go but the PRAISE I can give will last in the hearts of my children forever. It's not about making sure everything is CLEAN, I need to RELAX and play with the kids. Knowing that I've done my best and SERVED the best I can as a Mother.
