Happy weekend my lovelies!! Day 9 and 10 have rolled by and we are still going strong, all glory be to sweet Jesus. It's the end of Saturday and I hope you all had a fabulous one! I certainly did, my dad came in to town this morning and my son turns one this week so i've got lots to be thankful for. This weekend, it's also mother's day for all our UK and Africa readers.
Happy Mother's Day
A mother's love, a Mother's care,
A mother's sigh, a Mother's prayerA Mother's work, and Mother's day,
Leaves little time for any play.
A godly Mother with godly love,Is treasure from God above,
A godly Mother with godly care,Has God's help when she sighs a prayer.
