Mother's Day...

My day. Can't say I got to sleep in, but I did get to play "hot/cold" for my present from Ethan. He made me a book, one of many created in his class. It was filled with "I love it whens.." tailored to of course me. The ones that stood out were, "I love my mom because she taught me how to garden" " I know my mom cares because she asks how is school" and my personal favorite "I love to hear my mom sing I am in a war" granted, I'm sure his teacher is wondering about his war monger mother, but I knew exactly which song he was talking about.

Counting On God by Desperation Band

I'm in a fight not physical
And I'm in a war But not with this world
You are the light that's beautiful
And I want more, I want all that's Yours

Joy unspeakable that won't go away
And just enough strength To live for today
So I never have to worry What tomorrow will bring
'Cause my faith is on solid rock
I am counting on God

I am counting on
I am counting on God

The miracle of Christ in me
Is the mystery that sets me free
I'm nothing like I used to be
Open up your eyes you'll see

Ah, my boy. He knows how to get right to my heart without even knowing. The topper of course was going to church later and having them sing that exact song. My strength to live for today renewed, yet again. Thank you Eth. My husband came through too of course, getting me a gift certificate to my favorite kitchen shop, which one day later is no more. A ravioli cutter to cut my roasted beet ravioli with bacon and spinach filling that I made today. A cookie press to make a treat for bible study tonight and a cast iron ebelskiver pan, which I'm sure will be my nemesis. I love you guys for letting me be me and letting that be OK.
