Today my husband and I planted our herb and vegetable garden. Honestly he’s more of the green thumb in the family and I’m the tag along, but working together, especially cultivating the earth and land God gave us, strengthens our relationship.

Mother’s Day from a daughter’s perspective is a joyous occasion for some but a stark reminder of disappointment and loss for others. For some daughters, mothers are an ever-present, positive figure in their lives, but for others, mothers may be absent or their relationships are replete with strife.
