No Holidays

I have the greatest respect for this person. She wakes up early in the morning and begins her day with God. She makes tea even before the rest of the crew wake up. She greets each one with cheer and takes care of all the mundane tasks to get each person out of the house to their respective destinations and also manages to care for the house. Her day never ends early and she seems to always have a zillion things to do until everyone is at bed. She finally makes her way to bed too.

What amazes me more is she is the reason for cheerfulness at home. If she is upset, everyone feels down and so she does her best to be happy rain or shine, storm or calm, good days or bad days. I have come to appreciate her ability to smile on a sad day, dance on any given day, stay lively even when those around are moody, be calm when no one else is and when everything falls apart, still bounces back to being herself and doing all that she does, like it or not - for US!

Yes, you guessed it, its my Mum.  Physical, emotional, spiritual challenges often come our way and sometimes for extended periods but she never takes a holiday. She is there for us, always. I love you Mum for all that you are. You are Incredible!

Dear Mister God this is @ina... Grant me the grace to be a joyful home maker dear Lord.
