The MOTHERS of our grandchildren






"Each day of our lives we make deposits into the memory banks of our children."
Charles Swindol - The Strong Family



Depositing good memories . . .



Three young mothers of seven grandchildren --


Sabrina, Diana and Rachel --


We appreciate your labor of love and


we celebrate YOU this Mother's Day!





Listen to how the Apostle Paul described how he served people: "As apostles of Christ we could have been a burden to you, but we were gentle among you, like a mother caring for her little children. We loved you so much that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God, but our lives as well, because you had become so dear to us. Surely you remember, brothers, our toil and hardship; we worked night and day in order not to be a burden to anyone while we preached the gospel of God to you." (I Thess. 2:6-9)


GENTLE . . . CARING FOR HER LITTLE CHILDREN . . .


LOVING SO MUCH . . .









YOU ARE SO DEAR TO US!










DELIGHTING TO SHARE









LOVING SO MUCH





CARING FOR YOUR LITTLE CHILDREN





WORKING NIGHT AND DAY


TOIL AND HARDSHIP
















DELIGHTING TO SHARE . . . YOUR LIVES!



GENTLE AMONG YOU

LOVING SO MUCH


CARING FOR YOUR LITTLE CHILDREN

So Grandpa and Grandma wish you a very HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! Keep on loving, keep being gentle, continue to work night and day, don't stop delighting in sharing your lives and the Good News of Jesus with our sweet grandchildren!

"Mother is the name for God in the lips and hearts of little children"
William Makepeace Thackeray

Mom, This is beautiful! Grandma's and pretty special, too, you know! Nathan has just today completed a little Mother's Day gift for you...it will be in the mail soon but will be a bit belated. Oh, well! What a sweet boy I have!

Mom... you are so wonderful. Thank you for such a sweet tribute! I finished a special mother's day/ fun craft for you yesterday and it is on it's way to you. I think it will arrive next Tuesday? You know me I can never get it actually to you on time. It's something to celebrate being a grandma, which I totally agree with Rachel is pretty special too! I love you mom! Happy Mother's Day to you!

Sorry I didn't leave a comment before. This is just beautiful! Thank you! I'm glad you like the kids pictures. We are a bit settled more now so I will work on blogging more. And I plan on adding one for the ball. Jesse has also started a blog, which you can find a link to off of mine. I also picked up the envie for the kids out of the mailbox tonight.
