And that would be the very, very best ten reasons in my world…..I am blessed beyond measure for God has been fulfilling the promise He gave me back in 1982….”He makes the barren woman to be at home, the joyful mother of children”….and I will praise Him forever

Happy Mother’s Day
to all of you, my sweet bloggy friends, who dream of being mothers, who long to be mothers, are “paper-pregnant” through adoption or pregnant in your belly, have children, step-children, foster children or kids that are “like yours”….you, my friend, are abundantly blessed….for He alone is the giver of all life…..
and being a mom or like a mom to anyone is the very highest calling and privilege….

If you notice Psalm 127:3 says, “The Fruit of THE womb is His reward”

It doesn’t say WHOSE womb….Just THE womb….

ALL children are HIS reward….

********and on that note*******

Reward me, again, sweet Jesus – reward me again!!

  1. Happy Mothers Day!!

    My mom has four biological and 2 adopted….that adopted number is going to double next week. Call us crazy, but we're adopting two more!! (if God continues to have that plan for us) It's James 1:27, and my parents are taking it to heart and taking it very seriously. I respect them so much and am so glad my mom is setting this example for me.

    Excited, Excited, Excited, for the babies to come home….after years in foster care….

  2. Happy Mothers Day from one mom of 10 to another!!

  9. After doing The Purpose Driven Life a few years ago I closed the book, looked at my sweet husband and said,"My purpose is to be a Mom!"

    God has continued to bless us with children since then – Noah and Ashlyn. I am so excited to see what He has in store for my future. I am truly blessed.
