This year my heart was torn in two on mothers Day...
I have girls from my MEND group that were experiencing their very first Mother's Day without their baby here with them... Oh the hurt and sorrow...
I watched kids at church whose mother passed away years ago...
I looked into the eyes of my adopted kids and couldn't help but think of their very first mommies that gave them life... And then made probably the hardest decision of their lives to hand those precious babies over to someone else to raise...
There are moms who are close to their children and moms who are estranged from their kids...
I remembered the mothers days I really wanted so desperately to be a mom, but wasn't sure if it would ever come to be... Oh the longing and hurt of women struggling with infertility...
There are so many who hurt on Mother's Day, yet so many reasons to rejoice...
I would not trade my job as a mom for anything in the world... NOTHING! It is my greatest JOY in life!!!
I awoke to the kids bringing me breakfast In bed... It was Super yummy and super sweet of them...
Oh the sacrifice our sweet birth moms and donor mom (for Levi), made to bless us with the amazing priviledge of raising their sweet amazing babies...
I am overcome with gratefulness!!!
And my heart rejoices that one day when ALL THINGS ARE MADE RIGHT... I will have eternity with all of my kids...
God was so good to make my dream of being a mommy a reality... My heart OVERFLOWS!!
