My Momma

Pretty simple and to-the-point title, isn't it?  How do you sum everything up and make it sound catchy? Doesn't always work - I'm no poet, and I know it! lol  Okay, so that rhymed, but that was an easy one. ;-) You know who's a good writer? My momma. She has a gift of words, something I can only admire.

There are actually many things I admire about her.

She is giving - in so many ways.
Kind. An encourager.
A good listener - oye, I can sure talk her ear off at times - lol!

A great cook/baker. She can just throw things together and make great "something" --- famous for whipping together cookies by just adding things from the cupboard, lol. Ask her for a recipe and oftentimes, she'll say "I don't know, I just threw it together."

She loves God's nature and spending time outside...
She gives great hugs.
She's a wonderful grandmother to my girls.
She's always willing to help.

My hubby says she's the BEST mother-in-law anyone could have. :)

She's fun-loving.
She's not afraid of a little hard work.
She's a faithful, godly woman.
She is wise.
She is my FRIEND.

I am so thankful for her, for our relationship. I only hope that when my daughters grow up, we have the kind of relationship that I have with my mom now.  I really could go on and on...but I've done enough of that already. :)

Happy Birthday to my mother, my friend.
Proverbs 31:28








This is her birthday card...In fact, I bought this set because it reminded me of her. :)  It's a new set, called Nature Walk.




Well, what do you think?
I took the pic on the run...sorry it's not the best quality.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and have a GREAT day! :)

  1. Crystal, what a lovely tribute and card for your mother. It brought a few tears to my eyes because my mom had a lot of those attributes. She has been gone many years not but there are so many days I wish I could talk to her. She was a terrific listener. God bless your mom and you for being such a thoughtful, caring daughter.
