Each Friday, the Mother Letter Project will feature mothers who use their time and talents to serve and bring meaning into the lives of others. These are the mothers that encourage us, and we would like to share their lives with you. It’s our version of link sharing, so hop over to their space and leave an encouraging comment.
No doubt you will soon hear of extraordinary mommies, world gardens, holy experiences, and other such people, places, and things (do you like the foreshadowing). This Friday, thought, the Mother Letter Project features my wife, but not just because she was the recipient of the original project, or because she is generally wonderful, or because she is grace and her words are alive.
Leaving a post-graduate degree program to raise three boys, Amber is the picture of sacrifice. And she does well. She opened up a small space in the cyber-world, and there she encourages others. She has reminded us that a celebratory glass of sangria is well-deserved from time to time. She’s reminded us that there’s truly no fear in aging. And, she has asked us to come clean with our secrets so that true healing can begin.
Amber lives her motherhood with meaning and she inspires us all to live our lives in the same way. For that, I say we raise a glass of sangria and shout “Cheers.” Who’s with me? Visit her and share a word of encouragement with her today. She’d love it, and you’d be blessed.

I’m the second-most grateful person for TMLP…BECAUSE it brought Amber into my life!
You couldn’t feature a more beautiful mother on your first Feature Friday.
Oh, goodness. Thank you.
Readers, you should have seen the snarl on my face when I ripped the computer out of Seth’s hands this morning to write my own post about stealing bicycles. I’m not always a beacon of encouragement, but calling me so really does encourage me.
I love you, Seth.
amber. . .what an inspiration you have been for me! i happened upon your blog and felt a quick kinship. . .i understand your life with three boys and the adoption of a little girl in the future (geeze, i felt like i was reading my own blog)! my flame for writing has been re-ignited and i just posted one of my poems for the first time on my blog today. i truly believe that i “Jesus stumbled” across you and you husband. . .i only wish the miles didn’t seperate us. i just know we could be great soul friends.
thank you amber!
be blessed,
amy
Amy! I know it. I’m so glad to have “met” you at least in this way. It’s encouraging to know that I’m not alone in this toughness. I’m thankful to God.
Brave woman, keep churning out those poems, those posts, your heart. You are an encourager.
We’re grateful for you too, Robin. Thanks for putting time and effort into the original project and encouraging us to keep going!
Oh, I agree. She is quite the wonderful lady, no?
Amy,
I hope you’ll keep coming back. And let us know the mothers that inspire you to love more–mothers that encourage you. Maybe we’ll feature them on an upcoming friday.
