Hello everyone, we humbly apologize for the hiatus but as we began this spiritual endeavor it was governed in our hearts to only speak as led by the Holy Spirit. This week has been an emotionally bittersweet one. One member of our team decided on leaving our city to embark on a new adventure in another state, but thank goodness for high speed Internet( she can work from anywhere). And another is launching her own blogspot. We are so excited for both but will miss them terribly. As Mother's day quickly approached us I began to revisit the thought of the first relationship that most have, with their mother. From that all other ideas and theories about relationships are formed. Whether it was good, bad or absent that relationship helped mold how you relate to others. The bible tells us in Ephesians 5:1 Therefore be imitators of God as dear children, and walk in love as Christ also had loved us and given Himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma. I remember imitating my mother as a young child, wanting to wear her shoes, wishing I had an Afro as big as hers( it was the 70's y'all)! Then as a teen saying to myself I am never going to be like her when I grow up!! Much to my chagrin, looking at myself in the mirror I look like my mother. When hearing how I speak to my children I sound like my mother! The bible shares with us to be imitators of Christ. In all things, in all ways. Don't try to be just like Mike, strive to be like Christ. So to all the mothers that follow our blogspot, Happy Mother's day!! Enjoy. Remember the sweet smelling aroma that described our Lord Jesus Christ. Kiss the babies that honor you. Hug the husband, baby daddy or significant other (just keeping it real!!) that will pay homage to you. You are so deserving of the love. And no matter what relationship you had with your mother, love you so that you can love others. Remember the best times and the sweet smelling aroma. If it was all good then share that with someone else who may not have the fondest of memories so that they may grow in love. Happy Mother's Day From the Desk of a Real Wife
