Celebrating A Mother's Love

Celebrating A Mother's Love







Me and my mom

A mother gives unconditionally of herself for the benefit of those she loves and deserves our love and respect in return and with Mother's Day right around the corner, I've been reflecting upon not only the relationship with my children but also the relationship with my mom.   I realize how lucky I am to be able to share this special time with her and my heart goes out to those who won't be able to share this day with their mom.

I never truly knew the power of a mother's love until I became a mom myself, or the sacrifices made for me until I started sacrificing for my children.   Does that mean we had a perfect childhood or that we've provided a perfect childhood for our little ones?  No, it doesn't.  As a mom, it hurts to know we could have done a better job, but just because we've made mistakes doesn't mean we don't love our children, it just means we aren't perfect. 

So this Mother's Day don't focus on the things you should or shouldn't have done for your mom or children, instead focus on the love you received and the love you give.  If your mother is still with you, pay her a visit and show her how much she means to you.  If your mother has already moved on to be with our Lord and Savior, I know you are wishing for one more hug, one more kiss, and one more "I love you", but take comfort in the fact that you will see her again and chances are she already knows how much you love her.

Happy Mother's Day to you all.
