How do you describe a perfect day.  I got up early with Marissa and was able to leave her with Daddy supervising the frying of bacon, while I sat by the pond and enjoyed watching my new fish.  Pond side breakfast of bacon and fried eggs on toast were on the menu and Momma did not have to lift a finger!  We had a wonderful quiet day celebrating our precious children.  Everyone asks "How does Mark get along with having another child in the house?"  Here you can see for yourself how wonderfully suited they are for each other!  We are blessed beyond belief!  What a wonderful day.  My heart goes out to all of the Mothers who are enjoying their children today, but especially those Mothers who are waiting for a call that does not come, the Mothers who for reasons known only to God are not holding their children in their arms and to those Mothers who are still waiting, holding on to HIS promise that their children are yet to come.  For many years Mother's Day was not a happy place for me.  Once my Mother had passed away, it was very difficult to watch the celebrations of others, knowing that your heart ached for what you did not have.  Today my life is complete and I know that these children are the fulfillment of HIS promise to me.  Happy Mother's Day to everyone and strength and courage for those who are still waiting.  I have walked in those shoes!
