My Mother’s Day

Yesterday was Mother’s Day, 2008.

It was wonderful!

My daughter is so thoughtful, creative.

A couple of days before Mother’s Day, I received a beautiful card in the mail.

I displayed it on the sideboard in my home.

Then the day before Mother’s Day, I received another special Mother’s Day card in the mail.

I wondered why I received two, instead of the usual one from her. I placed it on the sideboard next to the first one.

Then that day I traveled to my daughter’s home to spend the night. Plans were to stay over and go to church with her and my son-in-law on Mother’s Day.

When I arrived at her house on Saturday, there was another Mother’s Day card resting on the pillow on my bed.

It was even more special than the others.  The words were a promise that she would always be there for me…..that she would celebrate my joys and care about the things that happen in my life. She promised that on ordinary days, she would remind me how much she loves me.

She promised to do everything she could to show how important I am to her………..beautiful promises.

Then on Mother’s Day as I was getting ready for church, my daughter handed me yet another card…….card number four.

Pictured on the front of the card was a precious baby bluebird, complete with soft blue feathers that I could touch.

It was the sweetest baby bird. Now you have to understand that the bluebird is my favorite song bird and has always been. That’s why that Mother’s Day card had such special meaning.

Now how could anyone not appreciate a daughter like mine.

Then to top off my day, when I arrived home, my son had mowed my yard…………. on Mother’s Day.

How could any mother not appreciate a son like that.

I am blessed.
