Happy Mother’s Day!  To moms, children, sisters and friends….we appreciate you who chose to go boldly where many fear to tread: the sacred hard beautiful exhausting blessedly amazing world or motherhood!

Here are some wishes to a few very special moms out there…
****I heard a very eye opening comment from my 16 year old daughter last night. She said “Mom, you laugh more when your mom is around than any other time. You two have so much fun together!” I thought about it and she is absolutely right! My mom and I have lived away from each other now for over 19 years and that has probably been the most difficult challenge that I’ve had to face. She does bring so much joy to me and everyone she is around. She has an undeniable way about her in how she can bring hope and joy in any situation. She is my pick-me-up whenever I need one. She can solve world problems with a moist yellow cake and her homemade chocolate fudge frosting. She inspires so many and the best part is she probably doesn’t even realize that she does. Thanks mom for the joy, the love, the laughs, the cakes and for allowing God to use you in such mighty ways to shed His light in dark places! I love you!!
Love, Jamie

Sammye Erisman, gives so much, loves hard, and listens well. Her optimistic and spunky personality shines the light of Christ wherever she goes. She is an example of a Proverbs 31 women, and I hope to be half the mom she is one day. I love you momma!!

****My mama is such an amazing woman! She is a hard worker, loves to laugh, she is a great listener and counselor. She is generous, unpretentious, and a great decorator. She is beautiful inside and out. She makes us laugh, she is a great cook. She is a wonderful mom, grandma and mother in law. I love her so much!                                                                                                                                                                                     Love, Crystal

*****Happy Mothers Day to an amazing mom. She has been by my side since the day I was born. She has cared for me and my children. She has been there through difficult times with me and has been through the great times with me. She is an amazing “nana” to my three girls and they love her so much. Thank you mom for being more than I could even ask for. I love you so much!
Love, Julie

*****I am lucky to have several women in my life who have shown me what amazing mothers really are: my mom, stepmom, mother-in-law and sister-in-law have shown me what unconditional love looks like lived out…and I am forever grateful and blessed to them!!! Happy Mother’s Day, Mom, Linda, Susan and Kim!

*****I truly have the best mom in the world. I can’t imagine what my life would be like without her. She is supportive in all that I do. Even through all the pain I’ve put her through, she still loves me and that’s all I could ask for.
Love, Andrew

*****If you were to google the word strong, you’d find a picture of my mom. She has the kindest heart and would do anything for anyone. Thank you for teaching me to love endlessly and treat everyone with respect. You’re my rock mommy. Love you.
Love, Logan
