On Mother’s Day I had the fine privilege of setting up what I like to think of as a “gorilla-style” photo booth at church. There was a little advertising, but mostly the greeters just steered people into our pastor’s office, where I had a {very cute} photo booth set up. Photos were free. Anyone mother could have a photo taken with anyone she chose. As you can see from this sampling…we had quite a few takers.
I had a fabulous time with these back-to-back snap shots. Each and every mother is so very dear. Let me tell you about a few of my favorite moments.
One mother requested to, “…keep our feet out of the photo–he’s [her son] got his snow boots on…it’s been that kind of morning.”
A three-year-old girl was convinced it was someone’s birthday. She told me, “Happy birthday!” Her mother corrected her, explaining that it was a different kind of holiday. Then, when I’d gotten their photo she requested cake…still convinced it was a birthday. “We’ll work on it. She just really loves cake,” the mother said.
“It’ll only take a second. It’s Mother’s Day. Humor me.” This sort of sentiment was uttered to grown sons and husbands. And they did…humor their mother.
Appropriately, the Sunday message was about mothers and how a mother’s love is a very good earthly example of God’s unconditional, never ending, always eager, tender, compassionate, best-interest-in-mind, love for all of His creation.
Mothers are amazing. And we are lucky to have them. Period. End of story.
Thanks to everyone who took a moment to smile for the camera last week! Those of you who requested digital copies will get them tomorrow. If you requested an 8×10″ print, you can pick it up on Sunday morning.
