Proverbs 22:6
Train up a child in the way he should go,
Even when he is old he will not depart from it.
Being pregnant, and raising many small children keeps motherhood in the front of my mind. In this season of my life, I’m surrounded by children, and that’s just the way I like it.
Today, I’m thankful for the women who have shaped my life through motherhood (my mother and grandmothers, as well as my mother in law).
My prayers are going up in thanksgiving today, for the opportunity to be a mother. I’m drawing close to Our Blessed Mother in prayer, as an example for motherhood
I’m also keeping mothers in my heart today affected by pregnancy or infant loss, infertility, or struggling with mother-daughter relationships. It’s a joyous day for some, but a bittersweet one for others.
What does Mother’s Day mean to you?

Enjoyed your post. On days that life is at such a fast, frazzling pace, it can be easy to forget to be thankful for the opportunity to be a mother. Needed that reminder today! May you enjoy the rest of your week!
Blessings,
Jeannette

I do love your post! I have to admit it took me a while to relish in motherhood, so I linked my post 🙂 Visiting from Scripture and a Snapshot.

Beautiful pictures. Enjoy those little ones. Before you know it they will be grown. I’d love to go back just one day and be with my kids when they were little. Of course I enjoy them an awful lot now that they are adults too. They will always be my babies.
Blessings,
Charlotte
