Mom is amazing and I think I have a right to say so.
Being a mother of twelve, she has SO many roles to fill, and she does an AWESOME job fulfilling them all.
She can be a submissive wife, take care of a newborn, train a toddler, keep 4 young boys and 2 little girls busy and doing their jobs properly, tend to the needs of 3 teenage girls and be a grandma all at the same time.
As I've been getting older and closer and closer to the time that (Lord willing) I will have a family of my own, I've been watching and learning.
And I can't think of anyone that I would rather have as a role model.
I seriously NEVER hear mom complaining, or bemoaning the fact that she never has "time to herself". Mom has taught me selflessness. She has taught me that "me" time is overrated and very selfish.
She has taught me that the little bodies that run around and cause work left and right are a GIFT. A precious gift that God has placed into our family for us to take care of.
Mom has taught and shown me that motherhood is the most precious and rewarding career that a woman could ever have.
Mom has taught me to go about my day cheerfully, doing everything unto the Lord and not unto man.
Mom has taught me that next to the Lord, family is the most important thing in this world.
And the list could go on....
So here is to Mom.....
Happy, Happy birthday!
Your the best mom that I could ever dream of having!
I LOVE YOU!!
