Happy Mother's Day, Mom!

I can't help but think just how blessed I am this Mother's Day. God has blessed me beyond measure by giving me the mother that He did. She is not only my mom, but one of my very best friends. 

Doing what we do best-Shopping in Maui!

There are not enough adjectives to describe my mom. She is the most caring, kind-hearted, giving, patient, loving, sacrificing, hard-working woman I have ever met 

{although I am quite partial =)}. 

Mom and I at one of my many wedding dress fittings in Dallas

She is constantly putting her family first. She is a prayer warrior for my brother and I. 

My wonderful family on the fabulous Kaanapali Beach {aka Heaven}

She loves the Lord with every fiber of her being and is not ashamed to make that known to the world. She is a rock in our family and the one we all run to in times of need. My mom is the kind that will drive two hours just to bring me {adorable} cookies after a long, hard day. My mom will bear my joy and pain and walk through the circumstance along beside me. Words can not express how much my mother means to me.

So Mom, Happy Mother's Day! Here is a poem I found that reminded me so much of you.

I love you oh so very much!

A Mother's Love

"There are times when only a mother's love

Can understand our tears

Can soothe our disappoints

And calm all of our fears

There are times when only a mother's love

Can share the joy we feel

When something we've dreamed about

Quite suddenly is real

There are times when only a mother's faith

Can help us on life's way

And inspire in us the confidence

We need from day to day

For a mother's heart and a mother's faith

And a mother's steadfast love

Were fashioned by the angels

And sent from God above."
