My 2nd Mother's Day

Today I celebrated my 2nd mother's day. At church they had all of the mothers stand up. They did the same thing last year and I was able to stand, but this year was different. I was standing there thinking that life was moving too fast. I am a mother not once but twice. I will be 27 in a couple of months and then I will have a 1 yr. old and a 2 yr. old. I am extremely happy with my life so don't hear this the wrong way. I just can't believe I am already to this point. God has lavished me with so many blessings in such a short amount of time, it is overwhelming. I don't usually think of them in one big pile the way I did today as I stood there in church, but I am glad I did. I needed to be reminded of my purpose. I have been blessed so that I can bless others and show them God's love. My children are first in that line. I have to raise them to know their Savior or my job as a mother will be for nothing. It is easy to lose sight of your overall purpose between the everyday happenings so I am thankful for a day that reminds me that all of the "everydays" add up.
It really was a good Mother's Day. I hope you all had a day full of blessings!
