My mom is an amazing woman. She has been a registered nurse for a long time and that’s no easy job. She has taught me a lot about life, love, family, etc. But the thing I learned the most from my mom is how to see the world around me.
For as long as I can remember, my mom would look around us and be amazed at the beauty God put on this earth. “Look at the sunset! See how beautiful all the colors are!” We would stand at the front door watching the storms, clapping for the thunder and lightning. Everything around us was beautiful.
I find myself these days, appreciating the world like she does. If I see a pretty flower, or tree, or clouds, etc, I try to take a picture. But I immediately say a prayer of thanks to God for creating all the beautiful things in our world. We are so blessed to live in this world, in this country. My mom taught me to appreciate that. I am so thankful for my mom.
Prompt: Things My Mom Taught Me
What a beautiful gift your mother has given you…because some days it’s tough to find the beauty. But God is truly good…and everything He does IS beautiful! Stopping by from Mama Kat’s.
So true. Thanks for stopping by!
Love that your mom taught you that! My mom did the same for me (even though I didn’t quite write in those terms on my site). She used to always point out sunsets and beautiful things. Now I do it for my kids and the other day my 2.5 year old said, “OH mom, look at that beautiful sunset!”. It was perfect. : ) Stopping by via Mama Kat’s #WW.
Oh that is precious! I can’t wait til my future children say things like
that. Thanks for stopping by!
Stopping by from SITS! What a nice little tribute for your mom. I’m looking forward to reading more…!
Thank you so much!
