Today I spoke in church...yup, on Mother's Day. I spoke on the blessings of Motherhood. It was good for me, as I haven't been very appreciative of my blessings as of late. It made me realize how fortunate I am to have strong, talented, and righteous women in my life. I have much to work on and I've realized the Lord places women in my life who exemplify those things that I aspire to be: kind, spiritual, talented, loyal, hardworking, and genuine. It's my own little melting pot of goodness. I have a good family, good friends, and good influences. I am blessed.
Each year I learn more and more how big of a blessing and a pain being a mother can be. It makes me appreciate my mom all the more as I experience the things she has experienced. I guess it's the difference between sympathy and empathy.
I remember thinking how good my mom had it when I was young. She got to stay home all day with her AWESOME children! She got to watch television ALL day while we were at school! She got to pick what we ate for dinner all the time! She didn't have to go to work! Boy, was I warped! And now I'm getting my little slap in the face. So mom, here's a portion of your mother's day gift, "I WAS WRONG!" HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY, MOM!

Am I one of those strong, talented and spiritual women in your life, that you spoke of?
I probably am. Well, minus the talented part. You got all the talent.
Why didn't we get a heads up about speaking in church.
I think I know the answer, but I'm a Biggs and I'm going to bellyache a little first.
AMEN to the whole Blog.
Kris-of course you're one of those women...including talented, minus spiritual-hehe.
John-no heads up because I don't like you....is that what you thought the answer was? Hehe...I'm on a roll today! No heads up because the fewer the people there, the better for me.
i thought the same thing. what a wack in the face. its hard work.
Cute post! Wish we could have heard your talk. Peter had to speak too, haha!
