Her children rise up and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:
Proverbs 31:28
It was a joyous Mother's Day, but not so much for the little treats we gave to Linda. And not even so much for what we said directly to her (Askew men aren't famous for speaking their emotions with ease). It was just watching the fruit of her patient mothering in their lives.
During our leisurely Mother's Day lunch, Ethan told us a funny story about the lady who wouldn't turn down her hearing aid while he was running the sound board at church this morning. Ethan learned to think of his faith in terms of service to others...from his mother.
We video-chatted with Samuel, Aimee, and Noah and were able to wish Aimee a happy Mother's Day. Samuel is faithful to call us because he learned to care about family...from his mother.
Later, Michael and Timothy sent us the riff track from a sci-fi movie they have been spoofing. (When it's completed, I may post it on this blog). They have always felt free to explore their creativity, encouraged by...their mother.
And I, her husband, praise her also. It was a blessed day.
