mother's day

We headed to Lynden this year after church on Mother's day. The morning started off very special, worshiping with our church family and watching Toby take communion for the first time. He recently talked to the elders and confessed his faith …. a very big step for a shy, little 9 year old boy. It has been one of my prayers this past year and how happy my heart was to see him partake for the first time, and even more so, to hear his understanding of what Christ has done for him. How thankful I am!

We wanted to go be with the Pastor's Mama, as we have been here three years and have yet to have the opportunity to spend Mother's day with her. Having two pastors in the family, makes getting together on Sundays and holidays a bit challenging. We took the plunge though because I really wanted to be in the country, and it looked like it was going to be a lovely, warm day. And it was!!! Perfect for back yard golf and a camp fire. Papa and Num Num gave Toby a necklace as a momento for the special day.

The whole day was just wonderful.
