My First Mother's Day

Being a mother has given me a new appreciation for what mother do. I never knew everything that being a mom meant. I didn't know all of the worries and fears that come with it. And I certainly didn't know all of the joys and wonderful things that are the best part of being a mother. I am still surprised at how just his little smile can totally make my day. And that makes Mother's Day all the more special. I  am still learning what it means to be a mother, but thanks, Mom, for all that you did and still do. You are the best.

My first Mother's day was very nice. Joash woke up at 1 in the morning because he couldn't wait any longer to tell me "Happy Mother's Day!" But then he slept right through until 8. We went to church and then to Wilbert's parents house where the non-mother's made and served the food. Joash didn't want to miss any of the action, so he refused to take his usual nap at Oma and Opa's. But, he fell asleep on the way home, so that was nice. Joash also had his Dad write a nice card for me that even had a cute poem inside. It was so cute and nice made me happy to be his mom.

I hope that all of you mom's had a great day yesterday!

In the Corn

Mataya got to go with her daddy to check on the corn. It will be ready to harvest soon! They decided to take some pictures. Mataya was so excited, she forgot to let daddy be in the picture. There we go. I thought this was sweet picture of a girl and her daddy.

American Thanksgiving

One nice thing about being from two different countries is that we can celebrate more holidays. And since there are a few more people from the states here, last night we had our own American Thanksgiving feast. There were six couples and all of the wives and two of the husbands were from the States. So the Americans out numbered the Canadians, which doesn't happen very often. And we had a feast. There was turkey, ham, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, green beans, bread, stuffing and three different kinds of pies for dessert and a pumpkin cake. It was wonderful. And the fellowship was great too. The hosts said there was no assigned seating, so the ladies all sat together at one of the table and guys at the other. It was funny how it worked out, but we had great conversations full of laughter. It was a great way to celebrate a holiday. Hopefully we have started our own tradition here.

A Perspective

I have already mentioned my "Word of the Day" screen saver that I have on my laptop that is hooked up to the projector in my room. I am learning that the words go in cycles a bit, so the same word will pop up in several classes during the day. Today's popular word was "entitlement." A fantastic word to share with teenagers who often think they are entitled to a whole lot of stuff. In fact, we as humans often think we are entitled to a whole lot of stuff when really we are fallen people who deserve nothing but death. We so often miss how wonderful and blessed our life really is and we get caught up on the little things. This video sort of puts that in perspective in a rather humorous way. I am by no means promoting this comedian, but if you take what he says to heart, it is so true. We live in an amazing world, created by an amazing God. We really should be happy with the blessing we have been given.
