Faithful Friends...

To Mom...

What do I say?

What do I say to the one who has inspired me, loved me, hugged me, laughed with me, and cried with me?

She’s taught me how to read, how to be a woman, how to be feminine…

She’s my mother.

What do I say to her?

Who will forget the night I reviewed my Bible test notes with her… and said “reincarnation” instead of “predestination?” We laughed that night ‘til we had tears in our eyes – and beyond. Who would forget the time she and I were singing “Climb Every Mountain” along to the Sound of Music CD… (Note to readers – I sooo wish that: 1-you had been there, or 2-that I had video-taped it)… let me just say that it was sooooo funny.

What DO I say anyway?????!!!!

Well… I will do my best with mere words...

To the prettiest, most fun, most loving, most kind, and most godly mother a girl could ever want:

Thank you for being such a wonderful mother, example, friend… and so much more. Thank you for putting up with me and my craziness (and the rest of us too). 

When I think of you, I think of several things:

1. The comforting feel of my momma's arms around me...

2. All of the fun that we have

3. The invaluable things that you've taught me - and still are teaching me

4. This verse: 
"Her children arise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her."
Proverbs 31:28
Now I know what they mean when they say that “a girl’s mother is her best friend.
The above quote is in the closest thing to orange I could find on Blogger... because orange is my mama's favorite color. ;-)

I am so glad and thankful that you are my mother! ;-)
To my best friend:

I love you!
Happy Mother’s Day!!

Xoxo…

Note: to all of the mommies out there with an 'angel baby' - Happy Mother's Day to you too. You ARE mothers... and you forever have a little one up there waiting to greet you. My prayers are with you today! You are a beautiful mother!

How sweet! Your mother is very lucky to have you as her daughter, I am sure of it. Cool pictures...Do you mind if I send one to my mom? Have a great day!

Charity U said...

Wow! Those last roses are simply dazzling. I'm sure your mom loved that post...I think it was a post that any mom would have loved to have had dedicated to her. (-:

Jessica said...

This is a beautiful post!
So sweet and special...
thank you for sharing it with us =)

Charity said...

Pillar: about the images, they're off of Google Images! (www.images.google.com). The "it's Mother's Day" pic came from me typing in "Mother's Day" in Google Images' search window; the orange roses pic came from typing in "orange roses" in the search window ;-). If you want those pics, you could either right-click it and click "save image", or right-click the image and click "copy image location". Then you can upload it onto your blog by clicking the little picture icon on the top of the post field and either finding it in your computer or pasting the copied URL of the image into the box provided!
Hope that helps... if you need more help, just shoot me an email at missbear "at" skybeam "dot" com! :-)

"Totally understand! =D I follow waaaay too many blogs... but I'm selective with the posts I look at. If I have time for a certain post, I look at it! Deal! =P
Happy (Belated) Mother's Day! ;-)
Hugs!
Chare"

Yeah I do that as well when I am short on time! And thanks it was a good Mother's Day!

Love the post, it sounds like your mother is a wonderful person!

Dear Charity,
How special a girl you must be and how lucky your mom is to have raised such a daughter. I'll take your little note on mother's who have an angel baby and take it as a sign from my angel who I missed so much on mothers day...I don't think it was an accident that I was meant to check out your blog when I saw you are following me on twitter...I'm not sure why but I hope my blog can help you for 'whatever' reason.

You are wise beyond your years! I'll look forward to reading more inspiring antidotes from you!
