A Rogers' Tradition
Each year for Mother's Day my husband does pictures of the kids for me and each year I treasure their little smiling faces and the changes that have taken place from the previous year..... But this year is different...This year I AM OVERWHELMED with the grace that God has shown in the life of our family. This year instead of 6 eyes gazing into the camera God has given me 8 and instead of 3 little people shouting mommy God has given me 4. This year God has given me a "new" child...a child that now makes eye contact...a child that now says mommy (and about 100 more words) a child that is now able to look me in the eyes and say " I lobe ou, mommy"!
And all I CAN DO is praise HIM..
In Honor Of Our Mother..
"Strength and dignity are her clothing and she laughs at the time to come.' Prov.31:25
When my brothers and I see this verse we all think about our mother. This verse is so much a part of who she is and of the woman that I hope to become.
This is written to you mom from the boys and I....
Strength and dignity are her clothing....
- even when you are chasing the boys with a broom because they wouldn't stop fighting...(and all we did was laugh)
- even when you try soooo very hard to play "Wii Dance" and it just never works out for you...remember you are a Baptist preacher's wife and daughter..lol
- even when you set the clock 7 minutes fast....and your still late
- even when you try way too hard to dance and it never turns out well...oh did I mention that already?
- BUT especially when you showed us the value of sacrificing for your family
- especially when you showed us the value of servant hood and submission as you daily served our father..never realizing the impact that this has had on our marriages
- especially when we see your gift of mercy and grace
- especially when you are always there to listen
- especially when you wear strength and dignity as if it is your most comfortable pair of jeans because it is so much a part of who you are...
...and she laughs at the time to come
We are so thankful to the Lord that this is who you are. You are a woman that can face a problem with strength but more importantly with peace: knowing how big God is....
We are so blessed by you and so thankful that not only are you a beautiful mother but you are also our friend. We love you and we wish we could be there with you...
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
