On Mother's Day

My mom and I at my baby shower. Many of
our guests drove quite a distance to show
their love and shower my baby with gifts. The
least I could do for them was wear a ridiculous
hat made of ribbons and bows (the handiwork
of my friend, Emily). 
I’d like to dedicate this post to my mother, Carol.

Mom, as I look forward to raising my daughter-to-come, I’ve been thinking about all the ways that you provided for me, taught me, and helped me to grow. Little Karen is so blessed to have a grandma as fun and inspiring as you.
This Mother’s Day, I’d like to share a list of things about you that I’ve always admired:

1. Your Faith
I’m thankful that you raised me in Christ’s love. I love the way that you pray, cherish God’s Word, and are always ready to talk about what Christ has done for you.

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes …” Romans 1:16 (NIV).
