Dear Friends and Family,
|

As Mother’s Day approaches, I find this year especially reflective.
As many of you know, my daughter recently had a son and this is her
first Mother’s Day celebration. I
am fortunate enough to have them staying with me and I can honestly say that
it is a true blessing. To have
the ability to watch my grandson grow and go on adventures outside of the
living room is interesting to say the least.
However, I count each day as a blessing and look forward to the many
days ahead.

I often think of Jesus’ mother, Mary, and the sacrifices she made
for her son. As a wife and
mother, I am always trying to plan ahead, think of everything possible to
make the day go right, and trying to make sure that everyone is well taken
care of. Sometimes this is all
done at the expense of my own well being.
Mary, on the other hand, did not have much time to plan ahead, make
reservations, or much less figure out what the path of her life would be.
However, she seemed to meet the challenges the Lord put in front of
her with faith and certainty.

Every minute of the day, the Lord gives us many challenges to
overcome. He never gives
us more than we can handle. When
he made us, he provided us with the unique gifts and blessings that will
help guide us through the greatest and toughest times in our lives.
During this coming month, and hopefully for many months to come, I
look forward to meeting challenges and triumphs like Mary did, with the
faith and certainty in God’s plan for my life.
My hope is for you to do the same.
