Our Example!

| Celebrating Mother's Day with you, 1 week early! |
Dearest Moma,
Those two words pretty much
sum up our heart-felt thoughts, but to make it more interesting, I
decided to make those words up into an acrostic... well sort of!=) Some
of these I had to use "text" spelling to make it fit, since I didn't
inherit my Daddy's or Heather's abilities of making rhymes! =)
Our Example!
O-ther's first. In our minds there is NO other Momma with more of a servant's heart, than you!
"Ur"
(pronounced You're) our Prov 31 Momma... hands down! the best EVER!
(And thank you for not judging me for not measuring up to you.
Especially since my version of being a "Biblical Woman" is still in the
Bible; but somewhere stuck back in the maps section!=)
R-ejoicing
Heart! Thank you for refusing to allow the trials of life to take away
that silly, flirting with Daddy way you have, and just your fun-loving
self that we all love soooo dearly! That, in and of itself, has been an
example to me more than you'll ever know!
E-tiquette Queen! Right up there just after Emily Post of course! =)
X-traordinary
Never any such thing as "just getting by for you"... always has to be
as near perfect as is humanly possible! From ironing pillow cases to
table settings to rolling out Sunday Dinner rolls, everything has to be
perfect!!! =)
A-dvice
You and Daddy are amongst the 1st we call when we're in a pickle, for
we know that you'll pray much with us as well as, give us godly council
and I'm so blessed to have you for parents!
M-oma!
No other word fits you! But oh the wealth contained w/in that word!
There are absolute volumes of knowledge therein, which you have
endeavored to lovingly pass down to we four kids, then our mates, and
now on to your grand-kids! and if Jesus tarries I know you'll pass on
your knowledge to your great-grand-kids in God's time! (Keith and
Natalie that's just for you! lol!=)
P-apa's
loving wife! Even if the most romantic thing you always told us you
did was to "iron his shirts" =) Thanks for ALWAYS gladly following Daddy
wherever God has led him!
L-oving our mates as much as you love us! And Yes, we'll forgive you for loving your grand-kids MORE! After all, what Gram doesn't?! =)
E-conomical!
You always found a way to make "somethin' out of nothin' ". In fact you
had that whole 'Home Economics 101" thing down pat!!! I can't Thank you
enough for this trait that you've passed on to both of your missionary
daughters. You prepared us WELL for life on the mission field... even if we did end up landing on two different continents! =)
Happy Mother's Day! I love you Moma!
Love, Laura and Family

Laura, Loved this post. Loved what you wrote about Moma, very good. There was SO MUCH MORE I could have written in my poem about Moma, but I didn't think they wanted to read a BOOK! =)
Was a tad late getting my Mother's day post posted. Just got it posted and then saw that you used the very same pic of Daddy and Moma. =)
Enjoyed being together and the fun times last weekend. Enjoyed the pics you posted of the park and all too. FUN LAST PIC..Yes, I'm sure N,B, and K will LOVE you for that one. =)
Love and miss y'all TONS!

Laura, I loved this post, and especially since I have a great interest in the people who were included in it!
You have a 'one of a kind mother' but you also are building a beautiful 'Mother' reputation that no one else can imitate. I think you are one of the sweetest, kindest, most tender hearted, loving, hospitable, and genuine mothers. Too, I love seeing the help and love you pour upon Heather and Phillip, your 'across the street' neighbors. Phillip told me you and your family do way more than you should for them, and I told him that Laura loves doing it for you guys because she loves you all so very much. Bless you for your kind heart of love, Laura. It's such a blessing. I'm happy to be your friend.
Heather's mother-in-law, Sherry
Thank you Laura for your nice acrostic. It was special to be the Mother our church chose to honor this year. I had no clue that it was me until the greeting from your letter was read, "Dearest Moma." I am so delighted that you all could be with me for the Mother/Daughter Brunch. I loved seeing and hearing your girl's turn those violins into fiddles, I think the other ladies did as well. :-) Thanks again for your kind words I do need to scold you, however for telling Daddy's church that I flirt with their pastor! You do not need to write in rhyme, you express your heart very well and I am still trying to be all that you think that I am. Also remember next time that "spell check" does not know how to spell my name.;-) Love, Moma
I corrected the spelling just for you Moma! ;-) Love you SOOOOO much!
xoxo Laura
I loved what you had to say about our dear "MMSB!" I also loved the pics! Thanks! Phillip
