Happy Mother's Day!

Dear Lord, it's such a hectic day


With little time to stop and pray


For life's been anything but calm


Since You called on me to be a mom


Running errands, matching socks


Building dreams with building blocks


Cooking, cleaning, and finding shoes


And other stuff that children lose


Fitting lids on bottled bugs


Wiping tears and giving hugs


So where's the quiet time I need?


Yet when I steal a minute, Lord


Just at the sink or ironing board


To ask the blessings of Your grace


I see then, in my small one's face


That you have blessed me


All the while


And I stop to kiss


That precious smile


Tyler and the girls made this cute sign for me on Mother's Day.
They made my day so special. 
I feel like the luckiest person to have such an amazing husband and such darling daughters to live each day with.
