my mom has a blog. she has for a while. i get her blog posts via email. my mom has a great blog, so peruse over it while you are there. papa bill (her husband) says she has the ability to love the unlovable. and she does. she loves those people who are very gruff on the edges and hard to be around. she shows them God's love in a way i know i will never be able to. it's a good thing too. i am pretty sure my quiet, meek mother didn't know what she God was giving her when she got me. i am loud, judgemental, stubborn, and can be unforgiving, open my mouth too much, and hold a grudge. these things are not my mom, so i am pretty sure i was unlovable at many times. yet she loved me. yet she loves me. such a reflection of God that woman.
i am not a very touchy feely person. those of you who know me please refrain from laughing and falling out of your chairs. :) i knew this would have to change somewhat when i had kids. and it has. i think i do pretty good with my own children. i hug them. i kiss them (even though my son has started to wipe the kisses off). i scratch their backs as night and rub their heads. i know the value of touch. probably from deep down inside it has been ingrained in me from my mom.
you can read her blog post here.
give you kids a hug tonight and tell them that you love them. a little touch, a little affection brought me all the way from korea to little ol' oklahoma.
i love you mom.
need to know about this God that will love you even when you are unlovable? just ask. i will let you know how He has loved me.

Your Mom sounds like a really special person! It's so easy to love the lovely, but it gets hard when we have to love the unlovely. That is what we are supposed to do, though.
I thought that you were a little hard on yourself ... You are a VERY special person, too! You may not be a touchy, feely person, but you definitely have your own way of showing love to others. :)
Um.. you have shown love to me MULTIPLE times since I've been your sissy. You have made me feel special and loved more times than I can think of....even without hugs. I think that's a pretty hard thing to do and you do it quite well. :)
Treasure, you're one of the most fun, sincere, honest, caring people I've ever met.
