Compliments to my Mom

I have a massive bruise on my leg that is deep purple with blue.  Where? When? How? I don't know the answer but I do know this.... I have my mom's skin.  It is slowly becoming more freckled and papery looking and I am in my thirties.  As I looked at this painful bump I realized my daughter has the same skin.  Looking in the mirror I realized I don't really care about my skin.

I do care about my character and I hope to have my mom's servant heart with increasing fervor, my mom's hospitality with increasing joy and grace, my mom's love for family and her faithful creation of lasting traditions, my mom's discipline, my mom's love for her children even as adults, my mom's life of prayer.... and the list goes on.....

Thanks mom.
