Mother’s Day Message for YOU:

To my absolute favorite mamas in the whole, wide world…

Hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day. I did! With as many kids as we have, I had the joy of celebrating ALL weekend, thus the late wishes, but you know my heart and well wishes were with you! I know in a previous Mother’s Day post, I shared a poem with you I had written when I was a single mom. This round, I wanted to pull some of my personal favorite, inspirational quotes to share. Enjoy : )

“I remember my mother's prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life.” Abraham Lincoln

“Making a decision to have a child--it's momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.” Elizabeth Stone

“Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.” Author Unknown

“How happy is everyone who fears the Lord, who walks in His ways! You will surely eat what your hands have worked for. You will be happy, and it will go well for you...May the Lord bless you from Zion, so that you will see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life, and will see your children's children.” Psalms 128:1-2, 5-6

Above are pics of our 2nd Quarter Community/Volunteer event at the Phoenix Zoo for the Arthritis Walk. It was an absolutely beautiful day and for a great cause (helping over 50 million people)! Wish more of you could have joined us. As we only do community/volunteer events quarterly (and we will always select ones to include our kids and that are free), please try and make these a priority. What a wonderful way to thank God for all the blessings in our own lives! Not to mention, God expects us to be the hands and feet of Jesus, and we have plenty of opportunities to do so and multiply our effectiveness by banding together! “For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required.” Luke 12:48. Look for our next one in the summer timeframe.

Allright ladies, at our next meeting, we will be picking up on our Beth Moore study, “Get Out of That Pit.” Be sure to read up on chapters 2 and 3 so we can have some GREAT discussion! This is such a powerful book - if you don’t already have one, get it! Amazon.com – search used books, it’s cheap and delivered straight to your front door (trust me, I’m a book worm addict : ) And as always, if you are just unable to do so at this time, PLEASE let me know and we will take care of it – done deal!

Absolutely CANNOT WAIT to see you all again this Friday, the 13th (Parkway/now CCV Surprise, bldg A). PLEASE give me a heads up if you plan to bring your kiddos so we have sufficient childcare coverage.

Love ya ladies. Until Friday, be blessed, but more importantly…BE A BLESSING! If you need to chat beforehand, you know where to find me!

Love much and much love,
Dee.
