It was worn but clean. She really needed a new one but year after year someone else really needed something more and she kept the coat. We each now have a button from that very coat and it a a precious memory for us of a Mother's love. My husband's Grandmother was also very special. she taught me as a young homemaker how to keep a sweet home on very little money. Using a drawer pull if a used pot lid did not have a handle. How to remake a pair of men's slacks into slacks for my son, or a women's blouse into a dress for our daughter. How to cook all the basics of life. I loved her so. I still do. She had so little herself but always had time and skills to share.

I have grown accustomed to that, so it doesn't bother me. What does seem to bother me right now would be defined as a "poverty of time". My children are of the age now where their activities and obligations take us away from home a lot. It is very hard for me, as I am a homebody. I enjoy my homemaking and rarely go out on my own. Being away from my nest grates on my soul. I try to remind myself that this is just a season and it will pass, but it isn't always easy.

Mother's are the same they want to make sure their family had a place to live and food to eat. The spiritual side is also important; so helping them reach out to God is so important. Thanks for this post and blessings to you!LeAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107717294803352571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718905863879655459.post-57498619249201070572012-08-18T13:21:05.640-04:002012-08-18T13:21:05.640-04:00Such a great post!

Now that I am a mom when I get birthday money (or any other extra money), I always want to spend it on my children too. How we spend money is a reflection of our hearts, so it only makes sense that mothers who love their children will want to spend their money on them, or their families. Lovely encouraging post! I hope and pray you are doing well.

However, today you reminded me that all is for the glory of God. When I bless my family and others in the name of the Lord, I am allowing Him to use me to do His will.<br />Thanks for the encouragement,<br />Mrs.BMrs. B, a very peculiar personhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03579160731517930694noreply@blogger.com
