What a Great Card!!!!

Yesterday was Mother's Day. I was able to share my day with my husband, all of my children and my three Grandsons. Can't get better than that! ( Except if my son-in-law could have come too!)  I wonder why some people don't celebrate these special days - birthdays, anniversaries, Valentine's Day? Are we too busy to care? Too self absorbed to think of someone else? My Mother-in-law used to say to my husband, "You're not my father!"- excusing herself for not acknowledging him on Father's Day. He was her only child giving her her only four grandkids, but he wasn't her father so the day didn't need to be celebrated. That always makes me sad. These days are meant to be celebrated! I watch my daughter with her three young sons. She is so young and has so much responsibility already yet she has risen to the occasion! Mother's Day is only one opportunity to let her know she doing a great job, that I notice she's doing a great job, I'm proud of her and I love her. It is also an opportunity for my kids and I to draw together even if we've had disagreements or I have had to discipline them - to put it aside for a time and appreciate each other. Mother's Day isn't just for moms to receive it's a day to celebrate the lives God has given to us. To let our kids know we love them back.

I got the coolest card from my son yesterday! Actually I got two wonderful cards from him. This one I share here because it is uniquely connected to this blog, and our present situation since we adopted Gracie, our rescued German Shepherd (read her story on the page entitled, Gracie). This is the card my son gave me!

                        

Isn't that the coolest card? It's a Hallmark. They do think of everything don't they?!

So you see... everyone can celebrated on Mother's Day.
