Because I Want More for Mother's Day

It had already started. . . my checklist of what I wanted my Mothers' Day to look like. I didn't want to cook, but I wanted to be able to honor my own mother with a homemade meal. I wanted to sleep late, but we had to have our house clean for everyone coming over. It was a detailed list that I soon realized wasn't.ever.going.to.happen.Because that is what happens when you anticipate perfection, your living turns into a never ending cycle of discontent. So I read a post this week that got me thinking in an upside down way. Well, upside down for the world, but right in line with the way I ought to be thinking.Why am I making a list of all the things that I want when I have so much to be thankful for without doing or getting or sleeping one more day late.  And what if, instead of wishing for more, decided that I wanted more.And I decided I wanted more for Mothers' Day.  I want less flowers, but more scents of bread rising for a hungry child.   I want less scarves, but more compassion clothing a community in need of a kitchen.   I want less spa days and more classrooms for smiling people to use.  Because like Lisa-Jo says,  "Mother's Day is a 365 days a year adventure, and it is always worth celebrating."So come join me in changing a life. Lisa-Jo has a dream and God is moving BIG, but because He is a generous God, He allows us to join Him in his work.  We get the blessings of sharing the gifts that are already His. And just a few dollars can make a big difference.This is more than just flowers and fancy food, friends, this is being the hands and feet of Jesus. And that quite possibly could be the best Mother's Day gift we could all want more of this year!XOXO,AngieJoin Me?  Come on over and check it out:
