40 Flowers 40 Moms

I don't know about you, but my mom rocks! She has been the most supportive woman ever! Tesh's mom has also been a blessing to both of us. (I even call her mom as well). Not only is she a fantastic mom but just a wonderful woman in general. This week's Tesh and Brae day wouldn't have been able to happen with out her help! Since she is a florist, she let us use her extra flowers. AND she helped get them ready as well! Man, she has such a beautiful heart! :) We also had our friend, Marcail, helping us! It was defiantly nice to have those extra hands with all our flowers! Marcail told us that she can now see why we would want to do this every week! Ahhhh!
Wow, we had some sweet reactions! Some were good and some not. Out of the 45 we offered flowers to, only 5 said no. Of course this was disappointing for us but most of them said that it was because they lived out of town and didn't want the flower to die. As we were walking around some ladies would stop us asking what we were doing or "are you actually doing that?" They were so pumped that we thought of them when handing out flowers and that they were free. One lady called us down from the other end of the hall because she wanted a flower and her friend wanted to give one to her client! There were times when we would hand one out to a lady and suddenly there was a line of ladies waiting for a flower! One of our favourite reactions was this one lady who asked if she could have a second one to go bless someone else. As we were walking away, she followed us and told us how she was just thinking of going out and buying someone a flower. She told us how she hadn't seen this lady in a long time and suddenly she found her! She said we were like the 3 wise men that just showed up! Haha!
All these moms are so amazing! They were worth all of the time these flowers took! I just encourage you to do something really special for your mom tomorrow! The amount that she deserves it is crazy! And... To any moms reading this, THANK YOU! You rock! God bless!

  4. Hey! I was one of the moms that received a flower that day! I just wanted to share something really cool.... The verse you gave me was Isaiah 66:13 and I actually JUST read Isaiah 66 that morning as part of my bible reading plan! I thought that was so cool and it just goes to show how awesome and sovereign our God is!! I hope this blesses you girls right back!
