I was saying the rosary this morning when it occurred to me our Blessed Mother visited the children in Fatima on this date back in 1917. I wished her a Happy Mother's Day also. She is the best role model we will ever have.
In our church bulletin this morning was this beautiful prayer...
A Mother's Love
There are times when only a mother's love can understand our
tears,can soothe our disppoints, and calm all of our fears.
There are times when only a monther's love can share the joy we feel,
when something we've dreamed about quite suddenly is real.
There are times when only a mother's faith can help us on life's way,
and inspire in us the confidence we need from day to day.
For a mother's heart and a mother's faith, and a mother's steadfast love,
were fashioned by the angels and sent from God above.

I am grateful both yesterday and today for having a 2 day celebration for Mother's Day. Yesterday,
Stephen and Amber came and spent time with us. We fixed stuffed green peppers for dinner as I was able to pick 8 peppers from the garden. YUM! Then we played a new trivia game they bought me which was fun, and then continued with other games we had on hand. We were up until 1:30 this morning playing and enjoying each other's company.
Today, Clif and I went shopping so he could get smaller clothes. He has lost 35 pounds since January. Who knew bike riding would lead to such a huge reduction of weight loss! He is now in a size he was wearing in high school. I obviously should join on his 20+ mile rides. Maybe I'd get thin too.
Anyway, after their work, Michael and Valerie came over. She had made some yummy treats to share. :) We too spent time playing the new game before we had to turn in for the night. We all have to work tomorrow so no staying up until wee hours in the morning.
Hope everyone had a safe and blessed Mother's Day. :)
