Looking for a commentary that uses big words and ponders the deeper meanings of various topics? Well...you've come to the wrong place. This blog is all about extolling the greatness of Christ, the joy of marriage, the rollercoaster ride called parenthood, the supremacy of the 1980's...and doing all of it at a fifth grade reading level!

Happy Mother's Day!

Elijah amazed me on Mother's Day morning.

While he was eating breakfast, Robin gave him the gift and the card we had gotten his Mee-Maw, and she told him to take it to her. Instead, Elijah quickly hopped out of his chair and ran back to his room.

Everyone was puzzled by his reaction...until moments later he emerged from his room with a little gift bag. He handed it to Robin and said, "Happy Mother's Day!" Robin opened it up to find a red, orange, and pink beaded bracelet. Elijah had made it at Rainbow School on Thursday...had brought it home with him from school that afternoon...and kept it a secret until Mother's Day morning. Amazing!!!!!

"Is that what you wanted," he asked?

"Oh yes, Elijah, I love it," an excited Mommy replied...even though it didn't match her green outfit she had selected for Sunday morning.

My boys surprise me every day...and I thank God for their Mother. Without her....well, they'd be like me. Scary...
