Happy birthday to my sweet Mama! Thankful for her example and all the ways she has sacrificed for me over the years. Cooking. Cleaning. Saving money. Making appointments. Sending reminders. Writing notes. Giving treats. Giving advice. Giving hugs. Taking me on outings. Loving my dad. Making God's Word and prayer a priority in her life. Mentoring women. Being a good listener. Not complaining. Not expecting praise or thanks. Managing the household well. Being supportive and involved in the lives of her children and grandchildren.
{Love}.
{Sacrifice}.
{Joy}.
{Commitment}.
I have a lot to live up to someday :)
LOVE YOU MOMMY!!!!!!
{She's never pulled anyone from a burning building
She's never rocked Central Park to a half a million fans, screaming out her name
She's never hit a shot to win the game
She's never left her footprints on the moon
She's never made a solo hot air balloon ride, around the world,
No, she's just your everyday average girl (but)
She's somebody's hero
A hero to her baby with a skinned up knee
A little kiss is all she needs
The keeper of the cheerios
The voice that brings Snow White to life
Bedtime stories every night
And that smile lets her know
She's somebody's hero
oh oh
She didn't get a check every week like a nine-to fiver
But she's been a waiter, and a cook and a taxi driver
For twenty years, there at home, until the day her girl was grown
Giving all her love to her was her life's ambition...}
"Somebody's Hero," Jamie O'Neal
"She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue. She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and bless her..."
~Proverbs 31~
