A Mother's Help -Postcard Friendship Friday #454

This is such a lovely piece.  Mothers haven't changed much over the years.  The gentleness and tenderness of this sweet Mother toward her little daughter is beautifully portrayed in this piece.

The older I become, the more appreciative I am of my own dear Mumsie.  I am the eldest of six.  She has been through so much--gave so much of her self--that I am forever grateful for her.  Her love, wisdom and strength means so much to me. 

I am blessed to have a mother such as mine.  SO blessed.

Have a wonderful day, sweet Friends--here in the Willamette Valley the sun is out and spring is busting out everywhere.  I am grateful for the sunshine today! Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!

My Beautiful Baby -Postcard Friendship Friday #407

 

I love this painting from the early 1900's.  I can't imagine having to do daily tasks wearing long skirts such as those pictured here.  I thank God for today's more practical clothing.  In the meantime, this mother's face says it all.  "I love you, my beautiful baby!"  

Have a lovely Mothers' Day, dear friends--treasure your Moms--Life is fragile and beautiful, and we won't have them here forever.

Blessings, and joy to you!  Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!

Mother's Love -Postcard Friendship Friday #310

Although the storm and stress of fate,

The bonds of life may strain, or sever.

The endless chain of Mother-love

Will bind the world forever.

What lovely words.  I have the world's most fantastic Mom.  She is such a lovely, talented, precious Friend.  I wish I would have known her better as a teenager--these days I treasure the beauty and value of my relationship with my Mother.  I am surrounded by her love and wonderful friendship.  I don't know what I would do without my darling Mum.  I am blessed to be her daughter. 

She was one of the speakers at the retreat last weekend.  She is gifted in so many ways, writing, art, and speaking.  I didn't realize it, but one of her books was recently translated into Korean!

As  Mom spoke, I learned a lot I didn't know, and frequently found myself in tears.  So many ladies came up afterward to tell me how blessed they were to have heard her speak.  The entire weekend was incredible! 

And so I say now--a little early--My dearest, darling Mumsie, happy Mother's Day!

Have a lovely day, dear Friends, and Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!

A Walk With Mom -Postcard Friendship Friday #167

As a small child, I remember walking with Mom.  We would go exploring--trekking through the woods, discovering log bridges someone had built over the creek in the Canyon.  I can still smell the cedar trees in warmth of summer--feel the crackling underbrush beneath my feet.

When I was all grown, Mom and I spoke for women's groups quite a bit.  I would visit her home and we would go over what we were going to say--then we would go for a walk.  How I treasured those times.

Then came the day my family and I moved next door.  For two years I had the wonderful privilege of walking with Mumsie every morning.  We became very close.  How grateful I am for her friendship and love.  She is still one of my very best friends.

These days, when Mom and I go walking--we walk arm in arm.  How I treasure walking with her this way.  I am so blessed by the love and prayers of my Mother.  She is an amazing woman. Through the years, she has taught me how to laugh and cry, how to journal and how to pray--and especially how to lean on our mighty God for strength.  I love you my darling Mumsie.  Thank you.  ((hugs))

A Mother's Love

 

The old pictures of Mother and child are so dear and sweet.  With Mother's Day coming up Sunday, I just had to post this beauty of a postcard.

I am so grateful to my precious Mumsie.  She is one of my best friends.  I don't know what I would do without her in m life.  I am blessed to have such a wonderful Mother.  She is beautiful to my eyes, my heart and my life.

Have a lovely week and don't forget to spend time with your Mom and thank her for her love.
