Mother's Day Tea

 

Good morning! Thank you so much for your kind messages about Lexi yesterday. She’s still under the weather, so we are contacting the vet again today. The symptoms aren’t the same as they were, but she’s still not herself, and she’s breaking our little hearts!

                The plants still aren’t planted, so we’ll have to table a post about that until next week.

                Meanwhile…I had the opportunity to share at a Mother’s Day event yesterday afternoon, and Ryan ended up accompanying me! That a delightful and unexpected surprise!

                The activities director of a local healthcare facility invited me to share at their Mother’s Day event. I shared about a topic I’ve spoken on before at Mother’s Day events, and it’s one of my favorites, so I was happy to return to it.

                I was impressed with how many people showed up for the event. I didn’t count, but Ryan guessed maybe around 80 people attended. They sent invitations to family members of the ladies who lived there and many came to spend the afternoon with their loved ones. I thought that was so sweet.

                They had a photo booth, party favors, and even served refreshments at the end of the afternoon.

                My favorite part of the afternoon was at the end when one of the guests brought me this beautiful bookmark her mom made for me. Her mom had heard me speak at a church years ago and was actually the one who shared my name with the activities director. She said I’d inspired her back then and she wanted to share this gift with me now. I was so humbled and touched by her kindness!

                I have one more event this spring, and I am thankful for each group that has invited me to share!
