Best Mother's Day I Have Ever Had

Usually on Mother's Day I get the whole day off. I don't get anyone but me ready for church, I don't take anyone to potty, I don't fix any one's meals, I get to take a nap that ends when I say, in short...I get to be lazy.

This morning did not start that way. But I didn't care. I woke up smiling because this was going to be the best Mother's Day I have had so far. We were all going to walk into the church auditorium dressed for church and three of us were leaving WET!

I had the incredible privilege of baptising Chris, my husband, my love, and my friend this morning and then watching him as he baptised Grace.


I have only seen him cry a couple of times in 12 years but this morning as he told about Jesus changing his life I could see him holding the tears back. You want a REAL man....There he is!


I got a little scrambled on my words and said "Holy Ghost" instead of "Holy Spirit". Who says Holy Ghost anymore. I guess you can take the girl out of the Baptist Church but you can't take the Baptist out of the girl!

The heater wasn't working in the pool so it was a little chilly. Really Chris and I didn't notice it much but when Grace got in she started dancing around in front of 1,000+ people saying, "Ooooo! It's cold in here!" She was excited and cold and it was Grace so of course everyone was chuckling!

One of the neatest things that our church does is to encourage you to have people from your family and support system stand on stage with you saying that they will walk this journey with you as you grow in Christ Jesus. We were blessed to have Paw, Aunt Carolyn, Uncle Bob, The Johnston Family, and the Herrrells. We missed having the Haydens and the Schrimshers, but we know that you were there in heart.

Here we are all leaving wet and blessed! The feeling of being obedient to Christ is incredible! I am so proud of Chris and Grace both that words are not sufficient!

By the way...I still got my day off. After leaving church, my sweet husband took me out to eat, took care of the kids, let me take a really long nap, and is fixing them "supper" even as we speak! I am thankful for a day off, but I am even more thankful that God made me a MOTHER!
