Enjoy the Summer!

What a wonderful time of fellowship we had at our last Wonderfully Made Moms meeting. I so much enjoy being with these sweet Moms. We have such a bond!

Sometimes God gives us a minstry to do and for whatever reason it just doesn't seem to work out. Other times, we find that God greatly blesses and we LOVE what we are doing. When God began to speak to me about having something for the mothers of children with special needs, I felt so inadequate. But He so heavily laid it on my heart that I knew it was something I needed to do. Yes, I still feel inadequate, but that is what makes me depend upon the Lord so much more. We can do NOTHING in our own strength, but in His strength, we can do ANYTHING!

To all of you terrific Moms out there, I want to tell you to just keep on keeping on. When times are tough, depend upon the Lord. He is the one who will get you through each trial and give you everything you need. Enjoy the good times. Our children are little for such a short time. Now that summer is here and your children are out of school, make some memories with them. Just the other day, when our son Chet came by, he said, "Oh, we had so much fun growing up in this house!" I remember the boys running around and around the house, squirt guns in tow, pausing every once in a while to climb up a tree. Summer went by all too quickly! As I think about those times, tears fill my eyes. What a blessing it is to be a mother!

Cindy, our last meeting really ministered to me...Praise God it was exactly what I needed. I am so thankful that you were willing to submit to God and do this ministry. You are in my prayers.
