Tomorrow afternoon my mother arrives.  I haven't seen her since last year.  We basically get to see her once a year.  She lives in FL and I live in PA.  She works one day a week and thinks that my family should come to see her -- I have six children -- one is in the Marine Corps stationed in SC, one is graduating next week and leaving for the Army and the rest are homeschooled and involved in a lot of activities. 

Don't get me wrong.  I love my life.  I wouldn't have it any other way.  I just think that it is easier for her to visit us.  She doesn't think so.  I look at my friends who have less children and have mothers who help them so much and it is hard because I feel like I can never do enough for my mom.  Did I mention that my mom is only 60 years old and in perfect health?

So my prayer for the day is that I find the patience and love to show my mother while she is here. 

If anyone has any advice for me -- I would greatly appreciate it!!

God Bless, Michelle
