Happy Mother's Day! This is the Sunday each year that we set aside to celebrate our mothers. All of us had a human female who bore us to infancy. However, not everyone is blessed with a mother. The circumstances of this world sometimes take mothers away in childbirth or cause mothers to abandon babies. We may not always appreciate our mothers as well as they deserve, but ask a person raised as an orphan and I suspect that you will get a different perspective on what it is to be raised by a loving, Christ-centered, mother in this dark world. Often we can take for granted that which we have always had in our lives. A rich person might take money for granted until they are broke or poor. A person with a job for many years might take work for granted until suddenly they are retired or laid off. Most of us do not have the point of view of an orphan and so tend to take our mothers for granted. Through it all, Mom has always been there for us. That is why it is so important to have at least one day each year set aside to remind us of all that our mothers have done for us in this life. We should do it every day, but the cares and concerns of this life divide us. Husbands and wives come along and then children, jobs, and all the other demands of this life get in the way of appreciating those we love, but who may live in another town far away. Take time today to pray for and express appreciation for your mother to God. Prayer will bless you mother much more than anything you can give physically in this world. However, that does not mean that a note of love and appreciation is not welcome.
From me to my mother on this beautiful Sunday, thank you for being there for me, and I love you Mom!
