Happy Mother's Day

We are having a great relaxing day. We went to church then had a picnic at the park. We will go out to dinner tonight at a kid friendly restaurant. I don't know who wrote this poem, but I like it on a day like today!

Dear Lord, it's such a hectic day,
With little time to stop and pray,
For life's been anything but calm,
Since you called on me to be a Mom.

Running errands, matching socks,
Building dreams with building blocks,
Cooking, cleaning, and finding shoes,
And other stuff that children lose.

Fitting lids on bottled bugs,
Wiping tears and giving hugs.
A stack of last week's mail to read,
So where's the quiet time I need?

Yet when I steal a minute Lord,
Just at the sink or ironing board,
To ask the blessing of your grace,
I see them in my small one's face,

That you have blessed me all the while,
As I stop to kiss that precious smile.
