I hope and pray that each of you has a FANTASTIC Mother’s Day today!
If you are not a mom – love on your mom today.
If you don’t have a good relationship with your mom – give thanks that she chose life for you, as this world would not be the same without you (or her)!
If you want to be a mom one day, or might be struggling with becoming one – I pray an abundance of blessings upon you today! May your heart’s desire be filled! In the meantime – take that awesome Mama Love of yours and love on some kiddos who might not have a mom around.
And let me encourage those of you who have wondered if adopting a child would “feel the same” as having a biological child . . . I’ve done both – and I can tell you that the love I felt in my heart, the longing for my child, the aching because they were not in my arms yet – was the same for both my biological children and adopted child. It truly is a miracle from God as to how He does that! I remember the moment my husband and I finally agreed that we had a daughter in Guatemala we needed to find – it was as if someone had just taken a chunk out of my heart, stolen one of my kids, and now I desperately needed to find her! Amazing!
If you have recently lost your mom and are grieving that loss today . . . I am so sorry. I know this must be a difficult day. Let me encourage you to enjoy the great memories you have of her, and I pray the aching and sorrow in your heart will be filled with fullness of Joy today – thanking God for the life He gave your mom (and thus gave you)! What a blessing!
Happy Mother’s Day to you Moms!
You truly are amazing women!!
Keep up the GREAT job you are doing . . . and if you mess up . . . there’s another day tomorrow! I thank God that “His mercies are NEW every morning!” 🙂
Mom Song
And just to make you laugh today – if you haven’t heard this yet – you’ve got to listen to it! Anita Renfroe’s “Mom Song”. So true!!!
How are you celebrating Mother’s Day today?
I slept in (a little), and I’m now packing for a week of fun in NYC (though – it looks like it might rain on some of my fun! 🙁 Oh well. At least I’m getting away for a rest and vacation!). Going to have fun with my hubby, and then later in the week with my sister! Can’t wait!
