When I was growing up, I thought my mom was normal. As I have aged, I have learned there is NOTHING normal about her. She is extraordinary. She loves her family well, works full time, and serves her church honorably. I think she even inspired the creation of Pinterest with her end-of-year teacher gifts and birthday party themes. The greatest gift she has ever given me is the gift of being loved. I can honestly say that I have never questioned her love for me. Not once.

When I married Will, I got another wonderful mother. One who has made a career of loving and serving her family and friends. Her heart is so big that I often wonder if it will burst from all of the love she gives to just about everyone she meets. She could not serve us better or love us more.

Both of these women are extraordinary, but they aren't the only women whose love has shaped me and so many others. Their love has a domino effect - spreading to others like the blaze of a fire.
To all of these women, we thank you.
You inspire us to lead with love - even when it hurts.
You have taught us to show up - even when it's inconvenient.
You encourage us to keep on going - even when we are afraid.
Your love leaves a legacy behind you.
"Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love." ~Ephesians 4:2
Thank you for bearing with us in love, and for your extraordinary love.
Happy Mother's Day.
Hope floats,
Meg
