Mother’s Day is bittersweet for me.<\/p>\n

Before we had children,\u00a0it was a stinging reminder of what we desired so desperately, but, for some reason, couldn’t have. Now that we have been given 2 little boys, it is a day of hugs and kisses and being pampered, while still remembering that for many women, Mother’s Day just isn’t the joyful day that it’s all made out to be.<\/p>\n

With that in mind, we spent last Sunday going to church, being thankful for our beautiful moms, honoring other women (and not just mothers), enjoying\u00a0lunch with friends, baking a cake, and remembering that\u00a0God is fully good and fully sovereign, regardless of our life circumstances or our capacity to understand His ways.<\/p>\n
