I have MUCH for which to be grateful at this time every year.
- The blessing of having my MIL with us and gracing ours and our children’s lives with her wisdom, humor, and above all, her prayers – is incalculable!
- The blessing of children who tell me in so many words, in so many gifts of drawings, and yesterday, a stunning bouquet of flowers…
- And of course, my “mother’s day babies” – Efrain and Geneva, celebrating birthdays this week.
All of this we celebrated with Grandma yesterday, enjoying each other, and a wonderful Prime Rib meal, gifted by Paul’s cousin Lynell. Paul did a great job cooking the meat (first time preparing prime rib – it was excellent!); I brought a salad, Paul added the wrong color olives to it; Natalie fixed the mashed potatoes to perfection; and Grandma’s cheesy corn rounded out the feast, followed by fudge-dipped strawberries and birthday cake. And in between dinner and dessert, there was time for bubbles out back.
God is so good!!
