This has got to be the best Mother's Day gift I've ever gotten from one of my kids: Reese presented me with a folded piece of loose-leaf paper. I opened it, and in his chicken scratch handwriting, written in pencil, was this poem:
Who You Are
You are a good cook
You encourage me
You motivate me
You are a great person
You are selfless
You are pleasant
You are understanding
You are smart
You help others
You are godly
You are compassionate
You forgive
And above all else...
You are my mother
Happy Mother's day
-Love, Reese
You are a good cook
You encourage me
You motivate me
You are a great person
You are selfless
You are pleasant
You are understanding
You are smart
You help others
You are godly
You are compassionate
You forgive
And above all else...
You are my mother
Happy Mother's day
-Love, Reese
NO store-bought gift could ever mean more to me than this poem. It is going in the scrapbook, or even yet, in a frame. God, how You have blessed me with this child!!! Surely I don't deserve it!!!

If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap.
If you want happiness for a day, go fishing.
If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune.
If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody.
