A couple of weeks ago was Mother's Day. I always enjoy this holiday a TON, as I am very close with my mom. I seemed to have inherited most of her quirks and tend to favor her physically. We have always enjoyed the occasional mother-son lunch, full of good conversation and food. She and I both are very emotional creatures (sorry, honey...I cry) and have a penchant for the occasional shopping trip. My mom has given me so much and has helped in countless ways since I moved back to Michiana 4 years ago this month. I LOVE MY MOM!!! Well, back to Mother's Day, I have now the opportunity to celebrate it TWICE!
As many of you know, I am getting married in 47 days (whoo hoo!!!) and I have gained the world's BEST mother-in-law! Donna (as I get to call her) has been so good to Jennifer and I, and she has put in tireless amounts of time and energy in helping us prepare for our big day. Her basement has become our storage unit and testimony to my finace's love of Hobby Lobby and Michael's. :) She is so excited for both of us and what I love most is taht she has adopted me as just another member of the family. It is so important to me (for many reasons which my family and Jennifer know) that I am accepted as a full-fledge "son", not just her daughter's husband.
Both of my moms have shown me a glimpse of what God does for us each day. He loves us as HIS children, not his "in-law". He shows me how much I am made in His image and should be proud to be a child of God. Happy Mother's Day to BOTH of my moms. I can't wait for the day when I get to celebrate THREE moms...hee hee hee...but that's a different post. :)
