This weekend is that reserved MOMent for Mothers. We enjoy it as it allows mom's three boys to emphatically go overboard on appreciating her. However, in the grand scheme of things, we are not perfect by any means, but we do go out of our way to ensure mom feels special in some small way each day. She is an important figure who deserves to know she is more than ENOUGH everyday of her life. Add in owning a male dog and our QUEEN is pretty outnumbered or should we say out-manned!!!! This year we had a special gift made with all four of her men on it where she can keep it close to her heart. We will certainly give her some quiet time and rest but do know that is always followed-up by a dog pile on top of mom filled with tickles, annoyance, and testosterone filled love. This day is not about a singular gift or the only time a mom should come into focus. It is not a reason for moms to boast or make demands. The special occasion is to express extra appreciation, pick a chore that alleviates some extra rest for an extraordinary person, and maybe most of all it becomes a teaching point for our kids. If you are doing your role as a husband, father, and leader you wife does not demand some extravagant pageant on this day because she already knows her worth from your everyday expression of love, devotion, appreciation, and work to build her up as Christ loved his church. Your mom is the single most important person outside of my relationship with Jesus my father. The bible tells us in Matthew 19:5 "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh." My mom up until meeting your mom was the most important woman in my life and that changed once I decided to pursue her as my wife. You both are very important, but you both will leave the house and cleave to your wives. Thus, even when raising you the most important person and relationship is my marriage. For us to be parent accurately we must date, we must ensure our marriage is on solid foundation. When you both decide to move out and it is just us again, our relationship is still the one that is under a microscope. This is why how you treat your mom daily, not just on Mother’s Day is of high importance. It will translate to how you treat your wife in the future. When the time comes to be a husband, even though your mom might be nervous she knows from Godly wisdom that, that particular relationship will become the most important in your life and she will be ready to be a blessing for you both but not the centerpiece. As we celebrate moms thank you for the mom-filled 5 Friday Finds.....
1. Twins: Can I have some of your chocolate?
Wife: I got this for Mother's Day!!
Twins: You're only a mom because of us!!
2. A twin asked mom if she'd be willing to get a bike so she could go on bike rides with her boys.
Mom: “You know, honey, bike riding isn’t really my thing. I’ve taken some good spills off a bike, I go slow, so I tend to not enjoy riding.”
Twins: “Aww does mommy-wommy need some twaining wheels??”
3. In case you ever wanted to feel better about your housekeeping skills: the twins walked in the house on Wednesday and asked why mom was making it smell like a birthday party.
All she had done was mopped. Also, their birthday is in July!!
4. Honestly 80% of being a twin mom Is being the parent who wraps gifts!! Enjoy this one day off!
5. Twins were saying good night before bed the other night and said “I love you Dad!! Thanks for being so cool. Then turned to mom and said “You’re the maid.” They get it!!
