Mother's Day Tea
This week is a very busy week as we are preparing for many events at church. Doing double duty right now seems very daunting and in the midst of this is my Zach's, ever so important, 2nd grade Mother's Day Tea. Would I even think about not going? Maybe - think about it but actually not go? Never! So on Wednesday at 8:30 AM (the time of day when I get the most work done) I arrive in the cafeteria to find Zach's face beaming that I have arrived. He hands me the most beautiful pink construction paper crown that is 3 times too big, shows me the pot he has nailed together, painted and planted a pansy in just for me. He's also made me a placemat with lovely artwork on it and a creative writing book he has written for me. The children sang two songs for us very special moms and then presented a poem. To top it all off we had muffins the children had made all by themselves - very tasty I must say - with fruit and of course hot tea! Zach and I mixed two varieties because we both love to live on the edge. We decided it was really yummy but did need a bit of sweetner.
God created seven days for us and instructed us to keep the Sabbath holy. I believe that my tea time with Zach this week counts as part of my Sabbath - I truly felt refreshed when I left to go on my way to work.
My placemat is on the table, my pansy is in the window, my crown is folded inside my book for safekeeping. What a blessing!
