I would like to wish my Mom a very happy, happy birthday today! I don't remember when this picture was taken, but I do remember Mom being there for me so many times throughout my life. She is still there for me today, too.
Motherhood is the strangest thing! I'm sure I have not always been the "model" child and have done things to disappoint my Mom (and my Dad) occasionally, but I will promise you one thing. No matter what I do or have done, they love me no matter what! Now that I have been a parent for almost 21 years, I understand this thing called unconditional love.
That's how God's love is for each of us. We usually don't deserve it, but that is His "amazing grace"! When I think about my love for my children and my parents' love for me, it helps me to understand how God can love us when we are at our best, when we stumble, just whenever.
Mom, thanks for always loving me--I love you!
Steph
P. S. This was the only picture I could find of the two of us when I was little. I wear more clothes now and we both look a little different now, don't we?
