I am really excited about this coming Sunday. One, because my kids love doing stuff for their mommy and I enjoy it because they are old enough now that they can come up with the most interesting, mind blowing ideas to make her feel loved. Joshua sat the other day and saw the "Open Heart" ad for "Kay Jewelers" and said, "That's what I want to give mommy." (apparently this is an innate thing for guys because my wife doesn't ask for jewelry) I see what my wife does daily for us and tonight I even told her, "I'm glad you are the mommy." I realize that she holds a place in our house that I cannot fill and it is unique, vital, has purpose and is treasured by us!

So, Once a year we “celebrate” Mother’s. We give them special gifts and flowers, but do we really see the race they are running?

I ask you Mom's, "As a Mother, do you ever ask yourself “what am I doing?” What kind of race are you running? What makes it…AMAZING?

Well, this coming Sunday is Mother's Day and I want to encourage you to invite all your friends and family join us as we celebrate Mother’s and talk about this AMAZING RACE.

Rib, if you are reading this...Know I love you and you are treasured!
