A very special Mother's Day

I hope everyone had a Happy Mother's Day. Mine was a special Mother's day for many reasons. One was because my baby turned three years old on Mother's Day. We went out to eat and went to the Zoo. We had so much fun. It was 90 some degrees out that day. I got my official start on my tan for the season. Then that night my husband took me to Spiderman 3 at the IMAX theater. I got very spoiled. We had some friends volunteer to babysit for us that night for a mother's day gift to me. The people we are in school with are so wonderful. We are going to miss them very much. It is a blessing to know that all of them are here for the same purpose as us. On Monday we had a little party for Zoe. We had many friends come from all over the world. We had a couple that sang her a Norwegian birthday song and dance. She had to stand on a chair as people dances all around her and sang in Norwegian. She was all smiles
Zoe also had a dream on the morning of her third birthday that we will all remember forever. She woke up and told us about it. She said that she woke up in the middle of the night and was scarred so she prayed to Jesus because she wanted a huge from Him. She then went back to bed and in her dream she seen Jesus, He came and gave her a big huge and told her that He loved her. She said that there were angels all around them and Jesus also told her that He love her mommy, daddy, and sister also. She was so excited when she woke up. She looked like she was really glowing. I have never seen that much joy in someones face ever in my life. It looks like we could also learn something from Zoe. Jesus always wants to reach out and have a relationship with us. We just have to ask Him. He wants also nothing more than to hold us close to Him and protect us from harm. She told this story many times within the last few days and she has not changed anything. She has been right on in telling everyone what happened. She also gets that amazing look of joy on her face every time she tells it. All I can do is give praise to the Lord, because He is so faithful to answering all our prayers. Later Mandy
