Who writes this stuff?

I try to keep my priorities in order: Jesus, my Andy, our children, everything else. I homeschool our boys, love to read almost all written words and have been challenged by the military life for 18 years. Right now my faulty human body is demanding a lot of attention. One day at a time, learning as much as possible every day and remembering to look for JOY when other things threaten to overwhelm.

My Blog Title Verse

"For the Lord gives wisdom. From His mouth come knowledge and understanding." Proverbs 2:6 NKJV
The Message translation puts it this way "God gives out Wisdom free, is plainspoken in Knowledge and Understanding."

Mother's Day

 I simply love being a mother. Those happy smiles. The eager questions. The proud accomplishments. The pure, undiluted love. The sloppy wet kisses. Even the moments of annoyance... "one more bedtime story mommy" "oops, I didn't mean to spill an entire container of yogurt all over my new outfit" "I don't want to do my school today"
 No matter what, I simply love being a mother. 
Maybe that is because I had a such wonderful example to teach me how to be a mother? 
And now, she simply loves being a Noni. (as well as still being a wonderful mom!)
 We celebrated mother's day at the zoo today, then at Sweet Tomatoes, then a stop at the mall. I must admit that I am exhausted. However, I got to be with the people that make MY mother's day perfect. My mother, and my children. 
 Life is good.

That is such a sweet picture of your mom with the boys on the train. I am glad to hear you had such a fun day! We have to do the zoo together soon!
