"If our devotion is to the cause of humanity, we will be quickly defeated and broken-hearted, since we will often be confronted with a great deal of ingratitude from other people. But if we are motivated by our love for God, no amount of ingratitude will be able to hinder us from serving one another."

mom

Through all the years you have been my mother, I have never doubted your love for me.
As an adult and a mother now,
I can appreciate all that you did for me to make my childhood so much fun.
I always thought as a child that I had the best mother ever!
However, I know that those teen years were pretty rough.
You proved your faithfulness in love to me, and you showed me what trusting in the Lord
really looked like.  I may not have understood it then, but I do now.
As our boys grow and make choices, not all of which I will agree with, I pray I can show them the same grace and mercy you showed me along the way.
I am so very grateful that the Lord had chose you for me. 
You are simply the best!

 Love the Christmas corsage!

 The many awesome vacations

I'm guessing I was in 10th grade here.
You are beautiful, mom.
Loving, caring and praying for your children always.
Yep, I want to be like you when I grow up.
Love, Lisa
