Mother's Day

What makes a woman a good mother? This question could be answered with any number of the typical attributes you and I would come up with. Most, however would gloss over the seemingly obvious supposed prerequisite that the woman actually have children. On this mother's day, I'd challenge that notion. My wife, Christina is a good mother. Period. She is loving, thoughtful, sacrificial, hard-working, thrifty, elegant, patient, caring, protective, gentle and the host of other adjectives of which you were thinking when I posed my primary question. So today, on a difficult day in this "journey for a family," I wish Christina a happy mother's day. She deserves it. She has all the attributes of a good mother. However, God has chosen for her to wait to bless a child or children with her superior qualities of mothering. In the mean-time, our two dogs, might be the luckiest four-legged creatures on earth. :) I asked them this morning and they said their mommy is the "world's greatest mommy." They asked me if they could get her a water bowl that said that on it, and I told them that instead, I'm sure she'd appreciate a big hug and kiss (lick) on the forehead. We love you, Christina! Happy Mother's Day!
