Honoring My Mother

Last Sunday was Mother's Day. For me, and probably for my mom as well, it was the first "real" Mother's Day -- A day where I truly and sincerely honored and acknowledged my mother for the worthy role God has graced her with.

I just want to praise God for the amazing work He has done in my family's life... the chains He has broken, the bonds He has recreated, the love and faith He has renewed. Finally, as I approach the age of 23, I can truly abide by that one, seemingly simple commandment -- to honor thy mother and father. Though somewhat late, it's better than never, so praise the Lord for His forgiveness and mercy.

I love you, Mommy... and this time, I REALLY mean it.

I wished she could have been there at VBC's Mother's Day Service, but I know God's timing is much better than my own. How about next year, Jesus? :)
