So Sunday was Mothers Day. On Saturday I went to a Birth-Mothers Day luncheon, which I was asked to speak at. Don't worry, a post about that is definitely coming soon. It was a great day, and a big blessing. However, Mothers Day was also a blessing.
At church they had all the children come to the front and they asked all the mothers to stand or raise their hands. They told the children to give a rose to all the moms. Since none of the children have ever seen me with a child, I would have confused them if I would have stood up. I felt a little awkward so I just stayed seated. I was looking around as all the moms were getting their roses... and the next thing I knew, our worship leader brought me a rose and gave me a hug. Several women came over and hugged me and gave me lots of encouragement. Even my pastor came over and gave me an uplifting word.
I am so blessed! I was overwhelmed and just started crying. Not out of sadness, but out of awe. The way people love at my church is amazing and comforting and real. I was overwhelmed by a feeling of love. Through my faith family Christ was loving on me and it was unexpected. It was great to be recognized as a mother on Mothers Day. It was great to be loved on by my fellow church members. It was just a huge blessing. Thank you guys so much!
