My reflections today are a bit sentimental. Mothers are special people ~ especially mine (pictured right) who, by the way, recently turned...21 again! And today we met over lunch to celebrate her.While driving to the buffet restaurant, I was listening to a favourite hit song, You Raise Me Up, that reminded me of how grateful we each are for all that Mum continues to mean to us.
Here are the lyrics of the chorus:
"You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up, to more than I can be."
Mum's ongoing dedication to providing us with loving nurture and a listening ear (together with her wisdom!) is invaluable, and has certainly encouraged us to be the best that we can be.
So, congratulations Mum for all you do to "raise us up" in life, faith and love! We look forward to many more enjoyable years to celebrate together. WE LOVE YOU HEAPS!!
