Mother is never happier than when she is working in the yard; at Christmas we had green beans and Swiss chard grown from her garden. She also made my very personal favorite, chocolate pie (so good that it was featured in my daughter's cookbook, The Home Sick Texan Cookbook). Mother is generous and graciously opens her home and heart to all sorts and conditions of others. She has taught me much about the wisdom that comes with a life well-lived.
One of her gifts to me this Christmas was a passage of Scripture. As I begin another year of blogging, I thought that sharing this verse with you was a way for us to begin another year of grace together.
For if the willingness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what one does not have. 2 Corinthians 8. 12

The photo of Mom is beautiful! We are blessed beyond words that she is our mother.
ReplyDeleteMy knitted star is missing but that's not a problem. Beth, getting it from you was a Christmas highlight.
Go ahead and make 2012 your best year so far. God is smiling upon all of us!
