1. She is beautiful - on the inside and out.
2. Her heart for others. My mom is always looking for ways to reach out to those in need, whether it means baking a banana bread or delivering a meal. I admire her willingness to volunteer - she doesn't hesitate to give of her time and resources to support others.
3. Her leadership in ministry. Over the years, my mom has served the church in various ways - from leading small groups, to singing on the praise team, and even giving messages! I have always looked up to her for the way she uses her gifts in God's Kingdom.
4. Her bravery! How many people can say that their mom has bungee jumped or sky dived!? Yes, I want to be like my mom, but you won't catch me doing that! Once she even let me serve her ice cream upside down at youth group. Isn't she awesome?!
5. She works hard to stay healthy. I wish I had the ability to say no to desserts the way my mom does! I admire her for eating right and committing to daily exercise.
6. Her hospitality. My mom is an incredible hostess! Not only is she an amazing cook, but she has a gift for making people feel at home. She is quick to extend an invitation - we are grateful for this because it means weekly family dinners even after we moved out!
7. Her friendship. I can honestly say that my mom is one of my best friends. I can go to her with just about anything and know she will listen and give encouragement. I look forward to our times together and her "I miss you" messages when we go just a few days without seeing each other.
8. Her sacrifice for those she loves. My mom loves her family more than anything else in the world. I can't think of anything she wouldn't do for her children or her spouse. She spoils us rotten! We are so blessed by her acts of service toward us, which are all done out of her amazing love for family.
I love you Mom.
Happy Mother's Day!
