~ This post is dedicated to my loving mother and all the mothers of the world who serve God by serving their families ~
They are the saintly beings that carry us in their tender, loving arms from
babe to toddler, and in their hearts from child through to young adult and
beyond...
They are the hands that rock the cradles of the nation, the women who
nurse and care for their little broods with very little recognition from the
outside world...
They are the precious women we are blessed and privileged to call
mother; the women each one of us ought to have by our sides cheering us on...
They are also the women who have daily struggles and battles; battles
which perhaps we don’t see or understand, yet they see them through, crying out
to the Lord in the wee hours of the night when up with a sickly baby...
They are the dear hearts who place the needs of their children above
their own and praise the Lord even in times of doubt or despair, fear or
sorrow...
They are the wonderful people who are shaped by their heavenly Father through
their young ones. Laugh lines make their
faces shine...
...Without them - without their prayers, strength, love, support and
patience, this world would be a dismal place indeed.
Mothers – what treasures they are, what jewels! Mothers – they are human too, requiring help
from the Holy One each moment of the day.
Mothers – how comforting and sweet that lovely word sounds to the
ears!
Mothers – Oh, how we love them so!
Women who lay aside their own dreams and goals to raise their families
in truth and love are rare finds and are worthy to be praised. But how seldom to we hear their sacrificial
love and tireless work being sung out from the rooftops...
Their work is often thankless, their tasks more often than not quite
dull. Yet they realise that their
recognition and source of hope and strength comes from the One above and does
not lie with this earth and all it has to offer.
We know they have their share of faults and shortcomings, but can any of
us claim to not have any? I know for certain
that I cannot...sometimes I feel as if I fail every second of the day... But we as their children love them anyway,
just as they so dearly love us...even when we disobey or sadden them.
Let us join together and show our darling mothers just how much we love
and appreciate them this coming Mother’s Day.
Please join me tomorrow in sharing a few simple ideas for ways you can bless your
mother!
