Mother’s Day was a good day. We watched the kids for E and R while they went out to have some time to themselves. We took the kids to K and S’s Sunday Dinner, where they had a blast playing with the other kids. It was a great time for everyone.
That being said, I was sad that A didn’t come for Mother’s Day. This was the first time he’s missed this holiday. I guess I need to adjust my expectations and not assume he’ll always be as involved in family events as he used to be.
One of the best moments of the day came from E. She didn’t get me a card or a gift, but she shared something that meant even more. She told me she had watched the movie “Evan Almighty” and had an epiphany.
The movie is about a modern-day Noah, who follows God's instructions to build an ark, even though everyone around him thinks he's crazy. He doesn’t understand why, but he obeys anyway. People ridicule him and call him strange, but he keeps building because God told him to. Then, when the floods come, everyone finally understands—he wasn’t crazy after all.
Then E looked at me and said, "I got it! I finally get what you guys are doing! I understand now that God told you to do this, and even though it looks crazy, strange, and weird, you are just doing what He told you to do."
Wow. What an amazing Mother’s Day gift! 💛
Last night, we met for our Tuesday night group (LJ wanted to continue even though P is gone), and it was such a sweet time of worship and fellowship. I have a feeling the Lord is going to do something very special with this group, and I’m excited to see how He moves.
LJ shared that yesterday was the hardest day for her so far. I have a feeling there will be even harder days ahead, but I know the Lord will be with her every step of the way. 🙏
