An Amazing Weekend

 This weekend as most know was Mother's Day.  This was also my youngest daughter's graduation weekend from college.  I was taught a valuable lesson of humility and love these two days.  Let's begin on Friday, my daughter wants pics taken for her celebration of her achievements the last four years.  Even though I am not photogenic, I am fine with this, until.....  I am told that I have to take photos with her mother, btw if you haven't read any of the other posts let's just say that we don't get along at all.  I am of course resistant to this idea. Probably more than that actually.  I actually hated the idea of even being in the same state as her, like I said before, not a fan of her or her family.  This started a spiral into a massive fight the day before Madison had possibly the best day of her life.  This was an epic failure on my part.  I'm not a perfect man and fail quite often.  I had to humble myself before God so that cooler heads prevailed in the end.  This day wasn't about me, it was about Madison.  We all attended a long but special day in the life of my baby girl.  We are so proud of her but now the next step in life is in front of her, ADULTING.  I had to Pray to our Father to ask for this to go without conflict.  Our God is a loving and caring Father.  He has watched over this whole situation from the start and it was perfect, because he is Perfect.  His Plan, even though at times may not be what you want or desire, is still Perfect.  Now onto Mother's Day, my amazing wife deserved to have a day like yesterday.  She is a Mother who has endured, suffered, and yet still persevered through it all because of her Faith.  She told me that her soul was filled to the top yesterday with Love and Joy.  She was able to see most of her family, talked with all of her kids, and was able to relax and get some well deserved rest last night.  A Mother's love is special, no doubt in my mind about this.  When you can Love like this and feel that level of Joy from it I believe this is walking in the steps of Jesus.  Loving unconditionally with no judgement.   I know sometimes a family dynamic can be difficult but you must run to God to ask for help.  The Plan isn't an easy one, there will challenging times, but with God and Jesus you will be good.  They have your back.  Praise The Lord at all times, not just the good ones.  There are blessings in all things.  To quote Brandon Lake "I will bring my Hard fought Hallelujah to you Lord."
