Happy Mother's Day, Mom!

I have a mother. . .
She is my hero.
She's a model of strong faith, hospitality, and a healthy marriage.
She's wise, discerning and loves a good laugh.
Her time is a gift and she generously shares it with others.
Her friends know they can call her no matter the time.
She opens her home weekly for meetings, Bible studies, and a bed and breakfast for whomever.
She listens, counsels, and says hard things sometimes.
She doesn't forget the special days.
She sends me Harry and David for Mother's Day, and humongous bouquets flowers for all other special holidays when Dan's not here. (Flowers and Harry and David are our love language).
She gets me, like no one else.
She's brilliant. Her husband knows she's wise and treasures her for it.
She knows more about the history and the political arena than most men. She uses her voice and her wit to empower others to use theirs and vote.
She loves her coffee and devotions in the morning with my dad, and a glass of wine in the evening as she recaps the day with that same wonderful man.
They are the best of friends, and the best parents ever.
I love you, Mom.
Happy Mother's Day!
