This bloomed on Mother's Day! A special gift from Jesus!
My darlings scrambled that morning and gathered their special things for me.
Ashlyn gave me a card and a sour cream container filled with tiny bits of shredded paper that she shredded herself - she was SO proud and it made my heart just fill with love for her!
Jeren gave me a card and a book of Guatemala someone gave us before we came here - he was so sweet and happy that he thought of that. I love it that he was so happy to have a gift for me.
Megan gave me a card and a "massage coupon" for a free foot or hand massage! I just love her heart!!
Owen gave me a card and said his gift was a hug.......I love those kinds of gifts!
Kristyn gave me a very sweet card telling me how much she loved me and then she gave me a picture of a lilly that she drew! I can't wait to frame it and hang it on the wall.
Keith and I got to go out on a real date on Friday before Mother's Day. The missionary girl living here with us (Mikah) asked if she could keep all of them and feed them supper. That was so thoughtful of her and we thoroughly enjoyed being together and riding around Jalapa on the moto laughing our heads off - I'm sure we were quite a sight, but we didn't care one bit!
On Mother's Day we went to the church Sunday morning that they call the "Third Church" and then in the evening we went to "Central Church" across the street and down the block from our house. There are four Emmanuel churches here in Jalapa.
They honored the oldest mother in the congregation.
They gave each mother a hand made tiny corsage to wear...that was so special.
It was a special day for me.
