I cannot believe a year has passed! I was watching the video from our precious munchkins LAST year when they sang on Mother's Day, and wow, they have surely GROWN! They are no longer toddler-looking but little ladies and gentlemen now! Boy, I am going to miss them so much when they go to college....tears....
2009 Mother's Day
2010 Mother's day
We had a WONDERFUL Mother's Day Sunday worship! The Praise and Worship was very beautiful, and the message from Pastor Al was very encouraging and touching too.
I chucked when I saw that moms spend about 180 minutes in a child's day with them (verses dad = 10 minutes), and laughed when he said statistically 80% of moms are the first to wake up in the family. In our family, Caleb is first (to get up and play Zoo World), followed by daddy (who prepares him breakfast and chauffeurs him to school), then mommy Soph, and finally Abbie.
The message followed a touching video (looks like Japanese animation) to encourage those who unexpectedly lost their moms (or other family members) early in life. It is very difficult to keep walking, but we must keep going, knowing that one day, we will meet them in heaven. Thanks for the video, pastor Allen!
The kids sang very sweet songs, and gave out flowers for the 150+ moms in the congregation.
We are thankful that God gave us loved ones in our family and God's family so we can learn to love one another unconditionally.

Happy Mother's Day!
The "Walking Tour"
Good job, Soph.
ReplyDeleteAbout the 2010 video, Abbie didn't hit the girl who cried and walked away.
