Happy Mother's Day

To those who are mothers.
To those who are to experience motherhood for the first time.
To those who have lost a child/children.
To those who placed their children in the best care they could.
To those who are praying for the reuniting with an absent child.
To those who have been given the assignment to raise those not from your womb.

Happy Mother’s Day!

You don’t always get it right. Out of fear, anger and stupidity someone may have suggested that by virtue of your being you:
Have ruined their lives
Are too bossy
Are too nosyAre too old fashioned
Are not cool enough
Shouldn’t have been allowed to be a mother

To you I say -- Happy Mothers Day!

In that secret place where you steal away for a moment you might cry and anguish over harsh words or the lack of kind words spoken in reference to you.

What we do as mothers seems to never be enough for the one’s who slept while we:
Stayed up till the wee hours holding them while they slept to ensure that they were breathing properly
Baked cookies for the party they forgot to tell us about last week
Pulled together costumes for parties
Proudly wore their macaroni necklaces to business meetings and formal affairs
Went without a facial, manicure and pedicure so that theywould have decent shoes and clothing
Worked extra hours and/or extra jobs so that finances for college were available when the time arose
Walked the floor and rubbed aching knees as we prayed for their salvation, health, protection, deliverance and fulfillment of purpose

To you I say -- Happy Mother’s Day!

To you who have been applauded, mistreated, abandoned and unknown by your children, the fact remains – you are still a mother.

We don’t always get it right and there will be those who will agree. Regardless of their point of view there is one who knows you and has been with you every step of this journey called motherhood.

It is God who ordained your path and allowed life to enter this world via the conduit of your birth canal. He is Love and He is the giver of life.I encourage you to look upon this day with joy and be thankful for the life He gave you and the lives that came through you body.

If you are estranged from your mother, consider using this day as a new beginning. If you are blessed to have your mother with you, let her know that you appreciate her. Do not allow another day to go by looking back. Look forward to the blessings in your life.

Have a blessed day remembering this: There is no such thing as an acceptable loss in God's Kingdom! You are so valuable to God. There is no stumble or mistake you may have made that will change the plans He has for your life.

Happy Mother’s Day -- Linda!
