Come on over at 5minutes for Mom and join all the mothers day contests, they have 6 prizes they are giving away, you don't want to miss it. 

Becoming a mom has been one of the greatest things that have happened to me and to be blessed three times with that reward is beyond anything I had ever hoped for.  Being a mom is hard hard work for sure but knowing I'm raising a future generation to love God and do HIS work on earth is so worth it.  Also the little moments they bring to my life, the I Love You's, Can I Help You, the hugs and kisses, the prayers for me and dad, the excitement of family nights and all the other fun rewarding things make life very rewarding.  I thank God for my children and that he allowed me to be a mother.

 Here is what you can win if you chekc over to Proverbs 31.

Join SchoolinRhome for a Mothers Day Giveaway, she has nice prizes!
