Happy Mother's Day
May 10, 2008
Happy Mother's day everyone. I made this card for you to save and print up as an encouragement. I am so blessed to have become a mother because my girls have helped me to become not such a selfish person. Before my girls, I was very self centered (actually I am still working on this but getting better). But there is nothing like motherhood to put you in your place and make you take your eyes off yourself. And as good, as all of this is for me, I still need to make sure I do not totally put myself on the back burner. In order to give in a full way, I need to make sure I have not run myself down. The fuller I am, the more love, patients and attention I can give my girls.
Mostly I made this card as a reminder, that what we do says much more to our children, then what we say. So be good to yourself, so you can be good to your children xoxoxo
Wow Powerful if only the world knew that!

What a beautiful saying, Clarice! Thanks so much for your Mother's Day wish over at my blog yesterday. I really appreciated it so much. And I *loved* your baker's pantry! Every single detail was wonderful and I'm going to steal some of your ideas for my new tiny (tiny!) baker's pantry in the old farmhouse we are buying. Thanks so much! Blessings, Debra
