Thank God for this Moment!Mother's Day 2011! God has been so good to me and allowed me so many pleasures. One of which is the privilege of being a Momma! What a great responsibility, but what a great Joy!

Natasha told her Daddy early on what she wanted him to make for me for Mother's Day! She has fond memories of this meal from when she was just a child. Daryl has had a good time teasing her that she's gotten a by with a LOT, since her surgery! She got her way and here's our menu: Monterrey Grilled Chicken, Baked Potatoes, with topping, yummy corn from Yerians Garden, and Macaroni Salad. For Dessert we opted for Strawberry Shortcake... blueberries were add for color too! And they enjoyed setting our table in the China which was given to us as a wedding gift over 20 years ago. The table cloth is a gift from a dear Christian lady in Ukraine, and the napkin rings came from Russia. Our life has been SO richly blessed... all because of Jesus and His calling for our lives!

Beautiful family picture!! Loved your table and your menu. So glad you got to use your china and your nice tablecloth and napkin rings! Yes, I agree...our lives are "RICH, RICH, RICH" from serving Jesus! (Pardon the WAKY radio quote there!=)
Enjoyed this post!
I have had a Happy Mother's day...and it looks like you have too! I'll post about mine later! Thank you for y'all's nice comments on my Mother's day song. =) (And Thanks, Laura, for the inspiration!)

What a lovely table! I was pleased over twenty years ago with your choice of pattern for your china and the gift of table cloth is perfect in color. Those girls did a fantastic job and Bryan doing the "man things" like cutting tomatoes. ;-) The menu looks wonderful, would have loved to have been there. So glad that God gave you the gift of motherhood. Love, Moma
