Mother’s Day Eve

I am already receiving homemade Mother’s Day cards, and I plan to scan them in and share them, but I just, minutes ago, had them revoked.  I’m not sure why.  I think there was probably a little more work to be done on it.  There is truly nothing I enjoy more than those homemade cards.  It’s not just the cards themselves, it’s the absolute joy I can see (and sometimes feel) emanating from the girls when they present them.  Hope was the one this morning who gave me an early card.  She could hardly contain her excitement when I looked at it and hugged me repeatedly.  Does it get any better?  That’s evidence that they hopefully remember that giving truly is better than receiving.  She put so much of herself into that piece of paper and couldn’t wait to give it away.  That is such pure love.   My love for them can’t even be described.  I thank God daily for giving me the opportunity to raise these three amazing souls.  I am blessed beyond measure.  Below is a song by Celine Dion that, although I’m not a big Celine Dion fan, I used in the first video I made of the girls’ pictures.  It still makes me cry, but it also puts into words the way I feel about them.
