Mother’s Day

Happy Mother’s Day to me and to all of you other Mamas!  In honor of my own Mom who lives far away now, I’ve compiled a very short list of some of the attributes I admire and love about her.  I’m only listing ten things but she certainly has many more admirable traits than these.  Here goes…

Ten Things I Love About my Mommy:

1. She can fix anything.  Wounds, electric griddle handles, jeans, car doors, these are actual things she has fixed for me.
2. She is patient.  My mama raised 9 children and currently has 17 grandchildren.  Need I say more?    
3. She is an amazing cook.  Yummy Thanksgiving stuffing, orange rolls, pork roast, Walla Walla Ding Ding, the list goes on.
4. She is artistically talented.  She can paint, sketch, carve, sew, an artistic genius.
5. She is hilarious.  Don’t be fooled by her reserved nature.  She has made me laugh until I have cried many times.
6. She is tender and kind.  She knows just what to say or do in any situation to make it better.  Just ask her patients or her grandchildren.
7. She is self-sacrificing.  Staying up late sewing Easter dresses, Christmas quilts, summer clothes, she consistently puts others first.
8. She is the Queen of projects.  Patching walls, painting rooms, laying wood floors, Mom is the one you call.
9. She is family-oriented.  Her family is the most important part of her life and we know it.
10. She is a woman of tremendous Faith and love for God.  Her prayers are sincere and she does not doubt.

I could go on and on about her but brevity is best.  I love you, Mom!  Happy Mother’s Day!
