I love being a mum!
On most days, that is.
One of the greatest gifts I’ve been given in life, is the example my own mother fleshed out.
In her extravagant love for my father,
her unconditional love for their 4 crazy girls,
and her authentic love for her God.
In thinking about this day, set apart for honoring and blessings our mums, and standing amazed – once again – at the sweetness of God in giving me the precious momma that He did – I can’t help but revisit this post {an open letter to my mother}.
My husband, scrumptious man that he is, is giving me the best present ever this weekend. I’m escaping this evening {Friday} for a whole night away with 2 of my favorite women on the planet. And I say that with authority, having lived beyond these borders.
These are my very best friends, women I have laughed with, cried alongside, called in many a moment of mommy madness {many, many a moment}, mommas who are true kindred spirits, passionate-husband-lovers, relentless-Jesus-pursuers, sweet servers, gracious truth tellers, creative gurus, and gorgeous loin-fruit producers.
‘Tis true…I love ‘em!
To say I am delighted, tickled pink, or giddy with excitement at the thought of spending 24 stunning hours with them {read: actually finishing a sentence, eating together, shopping together, eating together – oh, did I say that already? – and just connecting, sans loin-fruit, with my lovelies}, would be an understatement of epic proportions.
Thank babe, for freeing me up to get refreshed & get my girlfriend tank filled to the brim.
{You rock my face off}
‘Tis true…I love you even more!
