Imagine I'm leaving this on your voicemail, ok?
Hey Mama,
Happy Mother's Day!
I know I called last week, but since I was a little early, I thought I'd call to tell you again. I guess my sense of time is a little off, huh?
Anyway, I just called to tell you what an amazing Mom you are. I'm so blessed by you, Mama. You've been such a huge supporter of this whole Race thing. In fact, every time I tell you I want to leave the country and go on some new, random adventure, you support me. I'm so thankful for you.
Your prayers are powerful. I can't think of a single time where I've called you and you haven't ended the conversation by saying, "Ok, don't hang up. I'm going to pray for you."
In light of that, I'm just going to pray for you really fast, ok?
Abba, thank you for giving me my Mama. Thank you for her love, for the example she is, for her heart of encouragement. Thank you for the way she loves Daddy so wholly and openly, for the wisdom she gives freely. Thank you for how she shares her walk with you with me. Thank you for our friendship, for the trust we've built. LORD, she's such a blessing. God give her such rest this week. Let her know how loved and appreciated and approved she is. She's so precious to me and our family. Thank you thank you thank you for her and her heart for you, for our family, for me. We love you so much and give you all the glory for this day. Amen.
Okay, I think that's it… wait, no, one more thing:
For the record, if I'm half the woman you are when I grow up, I'm going to be a pretty amazing woman. You know that, right?
I love you, Mama. I miss you. Be home soon.
Oh, by the way, it's Heather, your wayfaring daughter.
I love you!
