Hello bloggy friends! This is Ali here, hacking on to the blog so that I can brag on Mommy-dearest, because if any of you know her like I do, you know how amazing humble she is. She always calls out the gold in others, so now it is her turn to be brag on her!

My mom is simply the most fabulous mom in the world! Seriously, you have to be someone amazingly special in order to parent 4 hoodlums as graciously and lovingly as she does. A lot of people akin motherhood to a job, but my mom never acts like this is her job. My mom always acts like it is her privilege and joy to take care of all us! (Even my dad, who is the biggest child of us all! ;) )

Rachel Elizabeth Woodard, you are a one-of a kind daughter of the King! He elevates you to such high places in the Kingdom because of how low you place yourself here on earth. You deserve so much more than you even imagine! You are so loved! May Abba bless you this year with peace and provision beyond all understanding!

To end this post, I want to bless my hip mama with an old Irish blessing that I feel like really embodies what Abba has got in store for her this year!

May love and laughter light your days,

and warm your heart and home.

May good and faithful friends be yours,

wherever you may roam.

May peace and plenty bless your world

with joy that long endures.

May all life's passing seasons

bring the best to you and yours

And so, in closing, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO THE BEST MOM IN THE WORLD!
