Go down to Kew in lilac time, in lilac time, in lilac time...
Go down to Kew in lilac time it isn't far from London town...
"Kew" came to me today in the guise of my two and four year old grandsons! It couldn't have been sweeter! Those shining eyes looking up into mine so adoringly as they presented their card and fragrant bouquet -cut from their own lilac tree- both so fervently clutched in pudgy hands, really touched my heart.
There's nothing sweeter for a mother than to know that her children and grandchildren are fine. And I heard from them all and interacted with all the local ones so, "My cup runneth over!" I am so proud of my daughter and my two daughter's in law. They are all wonderful mothers...just terrific mothers...it floods my heart with joy and comfort to see how much they love their little ones and how well they care for them. God bless you dear ones!
I'm including a quote here that really surprised me when I saw its origin:
"Dear Mother: I'm all right. Stop worrying about me."
-Egyptian Papyrus Letter 2000 BC
I guess this mothering thing is universal...your children, no matter their age, are always in your heart! I'm reminded of words of even greater import spoken by our Lord some 2000 years ago:
"...do not worry...do not worry ...
But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness
and all these things will be given to you as well.
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow,
for tomorrow will worry about itself.
Each day has enough trouble of its own."
taken from Matthew 6:25-34
