It’s both a privilege and an awesome responsibility to be a mom. I guess that’s why I was hesitant as a young bride to want children. I can only say, God knew best! I gave Him my heart and He changed me for sure. I never would have known the blessings of these precious lives that have been put in my path. There are challenges, of course, but when your adult child tells you he loves you or your young grandchild wants to come home with you, it can really melt your heart.

My life, wife, mom, grand-mom, sister, daughter, corporate trainer and itinerate missionary, all of these things and more, is what I’m all about. Being the best I can be, every day, through it all.

My journey has been both amazing and sometimes mundane, always challenging and certainly entertaining.

Printable “Read the Bible through in 2025” from teachsundayschool.com! I have used their format and it is awesome!

Happy New Year from Professional Mom! Patti

 

 

Hi-

 

I’ve just posted a 365 Day Bible Reading Plan on the website:

 

https://teachsundayschool.com/i/365daybiblereadingplan/

 

I find having a Bible reading schedule to be both comforting and motivating.

 

I hope it will offer you the same as we enter 2025! (go grab it now before you forget:)

 

Feel free to print it out and use yourself, with your own family, with your Sunday School kids, etc.

 

Print out the plan here & join me!

 

Enjoy,

Mary-Kate

Norma; Blessed of God (A Repost)

Post Note: In April, this year, 2024, my mom, Norma Nodar slipped into Heaven at 94 years of age.  She was a driving force in my life and a true disciple of Jesus. I miss her everyday! PM

Mom & Me (2018)

Everyone, almost without exception, loves their mom. Moms are our role-models, our confidants, our heroes. They give us our life, food and hugs. Moms are great. My mom, Norma Nodar, is the greatest.

If you know her, or have ever been remotely in contact with her, by that I mean, sell insurance to her, paint her house or help her at the store, you have probably gotten a card from her. This in and of itself is a blessing to multitudes. My siblings and I have 15 children between us, plus now, their spouses. Every one of us receive not only birthday cards but Thanksgiving, Easter and other various holidays. Our plethora of grandchildren, at least 40 (which includes the great-grands and steps,) have received their birthday cards with a crisp five-dollar bill until their 18th birthday! After that, they continue to get a card (usually with a decorated envelope) until, well, I guess forever.

But wait, I mentioned if you were remote contact, which means not only venders and businesses, but friend’s birthdays, illnesses, congratulations, shut-in encouragement and sympathy cards, sent, by the way, every single day.
