My Mother

This morning I woke up thinking about the amazing person that my mother is. With Mother’s Day approaching…(my first one with Ridley in my arms) I decided to write about my mom. She is honestly the most incredible person that I have known and who has influenced my life…besides my Dad, of course!

My Mom:

  • gave birth to me…her firstborn. I told her a couple days after I had Ridley that I appreciated her SO much more after giving birth! Wow!
  • had a profession of faith from a young age, but after I was born, she was truly saved. My dad likes to say that she is his second wife! ha!
  • included me in her daily chores from the earliest age….I don’t know how she had the patience to do this.
  • always spent time with God every day. I remember she and Dad praying in the early morning hours before they got up…they still do this!
  • would often go out to the barn early to milk the goats…she still does this too!
  • makes the MOST incredible breakfasts!
  • started off our school days with Bible Time. I think that this played a pivital role in my life.
  • taught me from preschool through highschool.
  • instilled in me a huge respect for my Dad…by respecting him herself.
  • taught me how to run a household…cleaning, cooking, grocery shopping etc
  • taught me how to drive! Boy, was she brave!!
  • never made fast decisions, but she and my Dad were/are SO stable!
  • helped with tea parties for my sister, cousins and me when we were little!
  • is incredible with the sewing machine…she taught me to sew!
  • knew when to let go and let me fly. She supported me as I grew older and made my own decisions.
  • became very good friends with my husband…before he was my husband!
  • has always been great to bounce ideas off of.
  • did amazingly well at my wedding!
  • was there when Ridley was born.
  • is a fantastic babysitter!
  • is incredibly smart!
  • should right a book, but she says she doesn’t have any advice to give except that all she has done is “by the grace of God.”
  • has an amazing intuition…
  • encourages me through hard times.

We are very good friends now. I’m blessed!

Happy Early Mother’s Day to all you mothers!! And a very happy FIRST Mother’s Day to my precious sister who is expecting her first child!
