When I woke up, William gave me a sweet card, and a really cool Vera Bradley wallet that he picked out himself. Then we went to church. The very first song we sang brought tears to my eyes, because it made me think of THIS POST from shortly after we came home with William.
After church, I got to pick our lunch spot, and I chose California Dreaming, one of our favorite Sunday restaurants. We had a great lunch, and on our way home, we stopped for ice cream. We ran into two of William's very best friends and their mom, an added bonus :) We went home, napped and relaxed during the afternoon, and then had deep dish pizza for dinner. All of my favorites in one day: God, family, and food ;)
As I reflect on my second mother's day as a mom, I must tell you that being a mother is even better than I ever imagined it would be. It makes me appreciate my mom & mother-in-law even more. And I more fully realize how incredible a sacrifice it was for God to allow His son to be ridiculed, beaten, and killed so that we can have eternal life.
I'm so thankful that God has allowed Zack and me to take responsibility over one of His unique creations. William is a blessing in so many ways, and I give all glory to God for the incredible, loving, compassionate, energetic young man we're raising. It is the cry of my heart that William will come to fully understand Christ's sacrifice and will fully give his life over to his Creator.
If you're a mommy, I hope you also had a great day on Sunday. And for those that are still waiting on the miracle of motherhood to happen, I lift you up to our Heavenly Father right now. I pray that God covers you with peace and patience as you wait, and that His good and perfect plan will soon be revealed to you.
