Sunday on this blog means it’s time to reflect and give thanks!
So the week started on Mothers’ Day! I had a wonderful brunch with my new family. I would have been happy with a McDonald’s breakfast, but hubby planned something a little more fancy, which I appreciated. And then, at the brunch, he almost made me cry – tears of joy and gratitude! He just expressed how much he appreciated my work as a mother and it was a blessing for my heart to hear. Thank the Lord for good husbands!
Hubby and I spent a day mid-week with our baby, to celebrate one year of being out of my belly! We went to a lighting store (baby loves looking at lights!) and had some traditional birthday food to celebrate. We also stopped by to see baby’s paternal grandparents, who we hadn’t seen since Easter. It was a wonderful day, albeit a little windy! It was just so good to quietly go around and do simple but fun stuff as a family.
I closed the week with a Mom-date, just hanging out with a good friend, her two children (several years older than my baby) and the bub. It was nice to get out of the house and get to know her kids a little more. I think my biggest joy yesterday actually came from her eldest, who (along with the younger sibling) was bullied by one kid at the kids’ entertainment centre we visited, but who chose to hold the door open for the bully and their parent as we left! I had to call out that show of forgiveness and kindness – and thank God for showing this example to me in this 10 year-old.
I have other joys too, good news I have heard from some friends who I have been praying for, good food (as usual), the green of the trees really coming in, now… God is so good, the blessings are endless and His love and mercy abound! Praise the Lord!
What were your joys last week? Hope to see you in the comments!
Until next time, let’s pray for each other. And remember, we can do Mom things through Christ who strengthens us!
