Mother's Day

Really missing and thinking of my mum this am. I really miss her. She was a great mom, and I wish I was always a great daughter.
All my life I "watched" her live out a loving and compassionate life. And I think the amazing thing is that my mom did not have an easy life herself. But she never focused on that, she found those who needed someone and helped them. Sometimes in little ways and sometimes in big ways. She modeled selflessness to me and I wish I had just a fraction of that in my soul. I think the most profound way she showed me the gospel. She showed me in the midst of all our humanness and all that we do wrong we can still be Jesus to those around us. That is was simply about love.
