Ahhhhh Mother's Day. It was beautiful, even if it was completely different than I hoped. In the first two pictures you see Sarah decorating my mother's day/ birthday cake...that part was perfect!!!! My mother's day/birthday gift was my iPod (which is the best thing since french fries!!!) so all I wanted after that was a cake made by my 2 favorite people. It was yummy and beautiful so they both did a perfect job!
So my dreamy plans for mother's day was to go to church and have my daughter sit in church with us while I finally listened to a mother's day sermon that didn't hurt and then we were going to go eat lunch in the park and watch our much prayed for daughter play.
We get to church and just before the sermon (after all the music etc) I took Sarah out to go to the bathroom when she said "Mama, I wanna go play with my friends"...I tried to convince her differently, but she was positive. So I took her to the nursery, thinking at least I'll really be able to listen to the sermon now.
Well, it just happened to be Graduation Sunday too. Wouldn't you know the sermon was for them...every word (ok, us mom's got the prayer, but still!:) ). Glen and I both laughed on the way to Sunday school that I got jipped. teehee But, ok, at least I'm a mom forever now...they'll only graduate this year. Maybe next year.
Then it was time for lunch....and it was raining. Of course. So we went to McDonald's drive thru and ate at home. So, nothing went as planned. But it was still a perfect day. I'm grateful to get to celebrate on this end of it this year.

Oh, if I were younger, I'd be going to get a mei-mei of my own! Sarah gets more lovely every time I see her. Thanks for sharing the pics.
Wish you had a copy of David Cox's sermon last Sun. Wow! He drew correlations between the Canaanite mother in Matthew 15:21 with Hannah, Jochebed,etc. He said that, like her, we mothers have to have courage, assertiveness, humility, persistence, and sacrificial love, to protect our kids from demonic influence. The whole sermon was so encouraging and enlightening.
Hug Sarah for me!
