My Sunday Best- Mother's Day

First of all, I would like to wish a very happy and blessed Mother's Day to all you moms out there.  To those whose kids are grown, to those whose kids are young, to those whose babies are watching you from up above, to those who have been like mothers to us, and to all those godmothers out there, we see the masterpiece of your beautiful, mothering hearts and love you so very, very much.  

"To be a mother is a great treasure. 

 Mothers, in their unconditional and sacrificial love for their children, are the antidote to individualism; they are the greatest enemies against war." 

-Pope Francis

I especially want to wish my mother and my mom by marriage a very joyous Mother's Day.  You sacrifice so very much for us and have since you first knew we were living inside you.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generous, self-sacrificing, faith-filled love and for turning into the best grandmas out there as well.  

And special love to our Mama Mary in heaven.  Greatest mother ever and always willing to help out us mothers down here on earth with tons of love and grace.  

And now a special thank you to my husband.  My husband?? Yes, a special thank you on Mother's Day to you as well.  Without you, I wouldn't know what to do in this whole journey of motherhood.  You rejoiced with me when we saw the positives on those pregnancy tests, you held my hand when our babies came into the world, and you've loved and encouraged me all throughout the ride--the ups and downs of this vocation.  

And last but not least, a big shout-out to my beautiful girls and the little one inside who call me "Mommy" and make my heart so happy.  You are each such unique and incredible souls, and I'm so honored to help guide you on your way back to Jesus someday.  May Mama Mary always wrap you each in her arms and fill you with the grace you need to love her Son as she does.  

And now we can talk about the #mySundaybest link-up for a quick second.  Rosie, from A Blog for my Mom, hosts it over at her blog, and it's a fun way to share your style (or motivate yourself to get some!), as well as to encourage and be encouraged by other women of all ages, shapes, and sizes.  You are beautiful, you are a daughter of God, and it's important to own that.  This is a fun little way to help each other remember that.

And I'll close with a quote I share every Mother's Day because it's just so beautiful.

-St. Therese of Lisiuex

God bless all you moms and fill you with his abundant grace and peace today and always.
