God makes a way ...

where there seems to be no way.

He works in ways we cannot see.

He will make a way !!!

Gift of words & deeds ...

Happy Mother's Day!


Mother's Day gifts from boys (mine at least) are always simple, yet profound.  Usually handmade (unless you count that year I gave myself got a Nerf gun) or when Grandma took them to the dollar store.  

The gifts are not always gift-wrapped, as sometimes it's only a card, but the written words wrapped in love are the gift.  So thought-provoking, and always FULL of heart.

This year I received "thanks" for not only being his Mom, but also for not "dyeing" while giving birth (no kidding).   Another "thanks" for letting him stay with me and not leaving him at an orphanage.   Followed by "thanks for being the best mom ever! I enjoy your company. I am glad to be you[r] son!"  Jeffrey.

Jason expressed his loving Mother's Day wishes in a card ... "I hope each mother's day is better than the last"... he offered many hugs & kisses, and a lot of leaning on mom (something about being taller than mom causes this weird "leaning" disease).  His gift was acts of service as he carried many things to/from the car when we went to church then to Grandma's for the day.  He sat close by and "leaned" over on my shoulder and whispered many times "I love you, Mom."

There is little that is more precious than knowing love in simple ways.  The written word, thoughtful deed, and of course the spoken "I love you."


Perfect gifts indeed.
