I have been blessed to have had many “mothers” in my life.
Some have passed away, which creates a deep sense of sadness and loss within
me. Yet, at the same time, I feel such thankfulness for having them in my life,
and for the impact they had on me. I seriously do not know what I would have
done without them. By their example, I strive to be like the honourable women
that they were; thus having a positive impact on generations after me.
At the same time, I am blessed to be a mother, and this
brings me great joy. This is an honour and responsibility that I take very
seriously. When I think about the gift of motherhood that God has entrusted
upon me, I feel so overwhelmingly unworthy and loved.
You may be a mother to your own biological children,
adoptive children, or step-children. You may be a “mother” to others who have
lost their mother, do not have a close relationship with their mother, or you
simply possess those mothering qualities that makes everyone around you feel
loved and cared for. You may be a pet mother, and love your pets or those you
care for, with the deep loving characteristics only a mother could have. You
may even be a Dad, who is also the “mother”, in the absence of one.
I know Mother’s Day can be a very depressing day for some
people. You may have lost your mother or you are unable to have children.
Perhaps you have lost a child, or maybe you have a mother, but she’s never been
like a “mother” to you. Perhaps you feel rejected or unloved by your child.
Friends, I know Mother’s Day can be a sad time; but it is
just a day, that by itself, does not define who you are. You are loved and
accepted by the Lord; the Creator of Heaven and Earth. Take time if you’re
able, to celebrate the “mothers” you love, appreciate, and look up to. And if
there is no one that fits this description in your life, perhaps YOU could be
that “mother” in someone else’s life who needs to feel loved and accepted, as
we all want to feel.
So I say, “Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers out there!
This is a day we celebrate YOU; for who you are, and for all that you do!”
