Happy Mother's Day

My mother is love. "Love is patient; love is kind. Love is not jealous; is not proud; is not conceited; does not act foolishly; is not selfish; is not easily provoked to anger; keeps no record of wrongs; takes no pleasure in unrighteousness, but rejoices in the truth; love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things." ~ I Corinthians 13:4-7.

I think those scriptures some up what my mother is. If I need encouragement you are there to give it to me. When I need a shoulder to cry on, I can lean on you.  With dad, I can call him to make him view things my way but with you I don't get you to see things my way. You always seem to find ways that are better than my way. When I am wrong you let me know. When I need honesty you provide me with lots of it. You are my worrier so I don't have to worry. I love the way you treat kids. You are a wonderful Grandmother to 2 precious boys. I can't wait to have grandchildren for you to spoil. They will love the fishing trips you will take them on. I love the way David & Kelly Adkin's babies love on you and sit in your lap at church. Actions speak louder than words. Everyone can say you would be the one to give a shirt off your back, and give to the less fortunate or even more fortunate than you. You hate to buy yourself something unless it is from a thrift store and sometimes you find things for me instead of you. I love the way you think about me. I love the way that Cloey calls dad Brother Mark, church terms, and you Aunt Deb, even though we are not kin to her. Thank you for all you do for your family. I could not imagine having another mother besides you.Thank you for getting onto me when I use to write on my pants, I got that from you. I now know that I must take care of my things if I want it to last a life time. I know your love will last FOREVER! I love you mom!
