It's not even close to mothers day anymore, but this post hit me just where I needed it. Thank you for sharing and for being so candid and real about yourself. You've blessed me so much today, and to God be the glory. Thank you!Stacihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17213908654644976441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4660714304160473392.post-26710286775396971532010-05-12T00:40:37.657-05:002010-05-12T00:40:37.657-05:00Ah, you sweet, humble mommy.

I feel that way on a regular basis. <br /><br />The stresses of a momma (especially to all young ones) are many, but the children don't feel them like momma does. They just feel love. They practically smother us to let us know they love us. The blessings far outweigh any of the stress though huh? I think your video proves that.<br /><br />You do deserve their love! Regardless of how you feel, you love your children and they apparently feel that very easily. They might not be able to understand ALL that you do, but they know of your sacrifices for them... at least to some degree - God knows it all! So, just praise God Grace. You are blessed.<br /><br />Love,<br />LynnetteAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17034668237991084928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4660714304160473392.post-11265328211933980052010-05-11T15:49:42.663-05:002010-05-11T15:49:42.663-05:00http://itistimetothinkformyself.blogspot.com/2010/...http://itistimetothinkformyself.blogspot.com/2010/05/jingles-may-follower-award-week-2.html<br /><br />awards for u.<br />Happy Tuesday!Linda Bob Grifins Korbetis Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01546696605935159862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4660714304160473392.post-42396866889793261622010-05-11T10:00:23.493-05:002010-05-11T10:00:23.493-05:00Grace,

I can imagine the feelings of inadequacy that I struggle with now cropping up in moments like that. What a blessing that you have such a godly husband to support you and remind you of the wonderful creature you are! <br /><br />blessings!Melanie Eccleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14426364679790785007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4660714304160473392.post-67864553912306253882010-05-11T09:42:56.912-05:002010-05-11T09:42:56.912-05:00Isn't it awesome, Grace, that the Lord will bl...Isn't it awesome, Grace, that the Lord will bless our children to learn from our imperfections. He will restore all things, sweetie! We need to show them that He is God, not us. It is good for them to see that in our weakness He is strong and He is the one that we lean on and He is the one that will never fail them. <br />You are one of the very best mothers I know. The best of mothers have rough moments and hard days ... but they live repentant, faithful lives and that is what makes their ministry powerful and beautiful for their families. There needs to be reality in day to day living experiences or they will be shocked to learn of the harshness of real life. <br /><br />I love you! You are a beautiful handmaiden of the Lord. I wish I would have known you when I was mothering my toddlers. I would have learned so much from you!<br /><br />May the Lord continue to bless the work of your hands, sweet Grace. (Psalm 90:17)<br /><br />I believe the Lord is very pleased with your desire for excellence. He will take you there. That is what your children will remember and treasure when as adults they thank Him for you.<br />CheriCheri Bunchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11164308430243574427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4660714304160473392.post-21095502803318883762010-05-10T20:31:51.783-05:002010-05-10T20:31:51.783-05:00What a beautiful family you have!

God has really been challenging my heart and reminding me as well to not settle. To not lose sight of who he is and to grow and change and strive.

Mother's Day always makes me emotional though-I cry at commercials though so I guess you could say I cry pretty easy, but today at church I got really misty eyed quite a few times. Not only am I blessed as a mom but just over the last few years all the things God has seen us through and how blessed we have been even through the times that seem like real trials at the time and how God has brought us through and He has blessed me even then.<br />Mother's Day always makes me stop and think of the two miscarriages I had too and those babies that are in heaven with my mother-in-law and at Jesus feet and who they are and what they are like and that someday I will get to hold them and see them for the first time-so that makes me a little misty eyed too. I too, looked at my kids today and thought God did you know what you were doing? Did I really deserve these kids and am I doing the best job I can and will they grow up and remember good things about me-fun things about me-godly things about me? I hope and pray so.<br />From your posts I can tell you have a mother's heart-one that is caring and loving for those precious babies of yours-they are blessed just as much as you are!<br />PS-You must check my site-the winners are on there!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02032814616544851463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4660714304160473392.post-26501928185230579632010-05-09T17:53:08.170-05:002010-05-09T17:53:08.170-05:00What a post.
