Mothers Day....

In honor of Mothers Day I wanted to write several post thing week of things my mom has taught me. I am very blessed to have the mom I have. She is a gift from God!!!

One of the favorite things my mom taught me is to take time to refill. Moms are typically givers by default! We are told is designed to give. However, without taking time to refill it greatly effects the quality of what we are giving. She taught me to take some time for yourself. She spiritually spent time with the Lord and I have memories of waking to find her on her knees with her head bowed and her bible near. Lord knows I was giving her a few prayer needs! Mom also taught me to take time to rest. I remember her little catnaps many afternoons. We didn't like it as a child but it was for our good. I am sure we got a less weary mama because of it. It also taught us that for a while it wasn't about us. We learned that we would have to tend to ourselves, be quiet and patient so she could refuel.

Thank you mom for teaching me that even moms have limitations and to honor those. Thank you for teaching me that taking time for myself can be a very good thing. I am most grateful!
