A Mother's Day post
Joan has a great Mother's Day post today--stop by and enjoy it. I'm not a "goal setter," (I'm a problem solver), but I liked it. Not everyone wins in the gene pool, but Joan and her sibs (most are also bloggers) and my sibs and I were very fortunate. Joan's mom is Methodist minister (as was her father) and I've also visited her blog, and she's writing about her mom!My mother wasn't a pastor, but she certainly did her share of teaching Sunday School, Bible school, and women's Bible study around her dining room table while volunteering for about 35 years at the local nursing home after looking out for her own mother and mother-in-law. My mom was a talented writer--even wrote some short stories--but I can't imagine her ever taking up blogging. She even destroyed my father's letters from WWII after we children found them in the attic. I have every letter she ever wrote to me--just filled with Illinois crop and weather reports and updates on my grandparents' health. Just fascinating stuff, but I enjoy seeing her handwriting.
Yes, Joan and I are blessed.

Thanks for the link and your comments on my Mother's Day post. You are right, those of us who have loving, Godly, consistent, and responsible parents are more blessed than anyone really knows. I enjoyed reading your last 4 or 5 posts today. (Your governor was a college classmate of mine.) Your Monday memory was interesting as usual, and the article on helicopter parents was right on the money.
