To be completely honest, I started off that day a little lighthearted that it wasn't my day. I told Levon not to worry about doing anything for me and we were very busy trying to squeeze in several other people and activities. But still, I wondered when is Mother's Day going to ever be about me? I work hard as a mother every day. But then, as the day unfolded and I heard God's message at Church and received Jocelyn's sweet hugs and kisses, and watched her fall asleep in my arms for her nap inbetween the activities... I quickly realized that it isn't about me at all. It's about God and the amazing, indescribable gift of motherhood that he gives to us. It's about his beautiful creation that is my daughter. It makes me cry right now as I type this to remember my epiphany. I just pray that God continues to remind me to not be self-centered, but to keep the focus on Him and the many blessings that he gives me.
