For all of the Mother's on this Day and Every Day

Some random thoughts for all of you on this Special Day.

To those who gave birth this year to their first child or to those who welcomed a new addition to your family —we celebrate with you.

To those who lost a child this year - we mourn with you.

To those who are in the trenches with little ones every day and wear the badge of food stains - we appreciate you.

To those who are a step-parent - we walk with you on these complex paths and encourage you to step up and just be their MOM love them and cherish them as they were your own. Jesus expects no less from you.

To those who experienced loss through miscarriage, failed adoptions, or a child who has strayed away—we mourn and pray with you.

To those who walk the hard path of infertility, wrought with tears, and
disappointment - we walk with you.

To those who are foster moms, mentor moms, and spiritual moms - we need you.

We appreciate you. We honor you.

To those who have warm and close relationships with your children - we
celebrate with you.

To those who have disappointment, heart ache, and distance with your children -we sit, we wait and we pray with you.

To those who lost their mothers this year or years previous - we grieve with you.

To those who lived through child birth, the raising of a family, the terrible twos,the impossible threes and fours, and the joyous fives because we got to send them on their way to school; the teenage years, and the overall testing of motherhood - we are better for having you in our midst. You have made your mark on this world.

To those who are single and long to be married and mothering your own children - we, mourn for your innocence for you truly do not know any
better!
To all of the Mother's ( whether you have children or not) Ladies we look to for guidance understanding and respect you as warriors of prayer- we honor and thank you for your countless tears, your heartfelt prayers, and your unwavering love and commitment to God and to us. We give you thanks and honor today.

This Mother's Day, we acknowledge, honor, and walk with each of you.
It is a Mother’s job to be a teacher. Everyone dislikes being told what to do, where to do it, or how it is to be done, but that's your sweet momma's job
.
DT 6:7 And you shall teach them diligently unto thy children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up.

Now there are so many things our Mother's teach us. Things we never forget.

Mother's teach us TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE "If you're going kill each other, do it outside I just finished cleaning!"

Mother's teach us RELIGION "You better pray that will come out of the carpet."

Mother's teach us LOGIC "Because I said so, that's why."

They teach us HOW TO MEET A CHALLENGE "Answer me when I talk to you! And Don't you talk back to me!"

They teach us FORESIGHT--"Make sure you wear clean underwear, in case you're in an accident."

Mother's teach us IRONY--"If you don't quit that crying, I'll give you something to cry about."

Mother's teach us about BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION "Stop acting like your father!"

They teach us about ENVY "There are millions of less fortunate children in this world who would love to have mother just like yours!"

Mother's teach us about JUSTICE "One day you'll have kids and I hope they turn out just like you!"

All these things our Mother's pass on to us are ingrained in our very fibers.

Just as we hide the Word of God in our hearts we have Mother's words as well.

A very special thanks, to all of you.
