This is just a fun post because I’m so excited about all the
little “craft” things I’ve been working on. I would post pictures but it would
give it all away to the one person that I’m crafting for!
My mom is not only my mother but also my dearest friend.
This was not always the case but I’m so thankful the Lord brought us close and
gave us the relationship we have today! Even though she has always lived
thousands of miles away we still remain close. Mom, you are heaven sent for
sure and I couldn’t make it without you!!
In the many years that she has been a missionary, she has
gone through two (maybe more) times where she has lost everything (materials
that is). I know it seems cliché; they were only things. But I know that as a
woman, we long for a home to call our own, to set up house, to decorate and
make it comfortable and livable.
I remember growing up that no matter where we
ended up laying our heads at night, mom always made sure our home was OUR home.
She would pull out something of her own to hang up or lie over the couch or put
on the kitchen table. She also got very excited when she would get anything she
could call her own to put up in the house; one thing in particular, curtains! However,
there is nothing like setting up home and then it being taken out from
underneath you in an instant, only to start over once again.
With that said, this is the reason I’m doing so many craft
projects! I have a wonderful surprise for my momma! Soon she will be retiring
and I’m already praying for a beautiful home for her to call her own. I love to
decorate and make a place feel homey so I know I already have full permission
to start a wonderful stash of goodies for her new home, even if it’s a trailer,
dad!
Our secret, I’m really praying the trailer out of the
equation!
Here’s a hint: sewing and roosters J
I love you mom!
