Mother's Day

This morning I was reflecting on my Mom, with Mother's Day on Sunday..as she takes care of me, with my progression of MS.."Can anyone really comprehend "unconditional" love? It seems the love that a Mother has for her children, is as close to unconditional love as we can get without the help of God's love in our lives. A mom continues to love her children through good times and bad, and she doesn't stop loving them if they don't meet the expectations she may have for them. She will make a choice to love her children even when she considers them unlovable; a mother's love doesn't stop when she doesn't "feel" love for them. This is similar to God's love for us, but as we shall see, God's love transcends the human definition of love to a point that is hard for us to comprehend."

With Mother's Day coming on Sunday ......I was thinking about Mother Mary's agony. If we are not careful, we grow accustomed to the thought of the cross, forgetting the very real pain, real sorrow, and loss that it represents. And while we think of Mary’s agony and the torment of the cross for Jesus, I wonder if the pain wasn't deepest in the heart of God. Think of the heartache for the One who willingly sent His only Son! No one knew more deeply what the crushing weight and torture of the sins of the world—your sins and my sins—would be like as they were embedded into the soul of the Savior. Think of how God must have felt in that moment.

For some, Mother’s Day brings pain—perhaps the pain of a fractured relationship between a mother and child, the pain of losing a loved one, or the pain of unfulfilled longings for motherhood. Psalm 34:18 offers these compassionate words: “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Jesus knows and understands your pain and is ready to not only grieve with you, but to bring you His gentle peace and hope....

The moment a child is born, The mother is also born. She never existed before. The women existed, But the mother, Never. There is the palm on your fevered brow, the soft kisses when you need them most, the grip that steadies you on rocky roads, the hand that feeds and nurtures you, the voice that tells you that you are loved, the shadow that walks beside you unconditional and enduring, a mothers love.

In giving us children, God places us in a position of both leadership and service. He calls mothers to give up their lives for the sake of others—to abandon their own desires and put our child’s interests first. Yet according to His perfect design, it is through this selflessness that we can become truly fulfilled.

Every day women are called upon to selflessly meet the needs of their families. Whether they are nursing a baby late at night, spending their time and money on less-than-grateful teenagers, or preparing meals, mom's continuously put others before themselves.
Sometimes this constant serving can be exhausting and even discouraging— particularly for a first-time mother.Unless you are willing to stoop down and get your hands dirty, you will miss the real riches of motherhood. By dying to your own desires and pouring your life into someone else’s, you become like Christ and create a godly legacy that will carry on for generations to come. What greater blessing could one hope for? Of course, the motivation for serving others should not be to reap benefits, but when we follow God’s plan for our life, that’s what happens.

." Mothers are the one person in our lives who could reassure and comfort us when we were frightened or sad. God has given mothers a unique ability to love with abundance and to guide their children in the way that they should go. Who can resist "Mom" the person who fans the flame of love in our hearts, who consoles us when we're sad, cheer us on when we're down and offers us hugs when we feel alone? Through our relationship with our mother, we learn about trust, knowing that she will always be there to keep us safe.".." For who is like a mother? Who can compare? Truthfully there is none who can capture our hearts the way that she does, none that has an impact in our life the way that she does. For she is unique and special, designed by our Loving Creator, to do what she does best- Love. Can a mother forget her babes; can she disregard the cries of her little ones? No, because a mother can never forget her own, those for whom she would gladly give her life, without any regard for her own."

Let us not just wait for this Sunday, to honor Mom.One day a year is simply not enough to show any person his or her value in our sight. Our mothers should know that they can count on our unconditional love, our listening ear when they offer guidance, and our sympathy when they express needs. Let’s make every day a Mother’s day.💓

I'm guessing...since your oldest son left, you go by his room to just tidy up a bit. You go through his closet, were you smell his scent. Then you look through some old photographs. Some how you find yourself sitting on his bed, then cuddle into a ball, then the first tear...

" Sometimes love is best expressed by spending quality time with our children and doing things with them or for them. And don't forget physical affection. In some cases, a hug or an arm around the shoulder will unlock a child's heart faster than anything else. Find what works best for each of your children and show that you love them—it could be life-changing. "

While we pile up many things that are important to us, very little of it is really precious. In fact, over time I have learned that the most precious things in life are not material items at all. Rather, it’s the people who have loved me and built into my life who are precious. When I find my heart saying, “I don’t know what I’d do without them,” I know that they are indeed precious to me.

To see the strength of a mother who comes to her child, when they are in need..is a filling-up of strength, courage and the biggest love you could ever experience. That is what moms carry in their empty arms. A mother's love is a tremendous strength that is defined as sharing together, praying together, suffering together, and working together, no matter how much we fuss at our mothers.

What spoke to me this morning was.. John 16:21 "When a woman is giving birth, she has sorrow because her hour has come, but when she has delivered the baby, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world." Because only a mother knows that moment of pain, of giving birth of her child. And yet, Jesus reference this experience to Him, speaking to his disciples of him leaving them but he says..John 16:22 "So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you." Mothers have that special bond, of this very experience, were the heart of our Lord is placed, were a moment of pain evaporates with the gift of precious joy.. what a comfort of solace and peace..

A couple of days ago, I asked Mom what can I do for you on Mother's Day, and she asked me to write some words. It was tough because even though this day is so special, it also opens up old wounds...especial during a pandemic. Lost love ones, but they say when the words don't come just think of what is true, then the words will flow. Mom has a special bond were pain seems to evaporate turning it into precious gifts of joy. They say with out pain you can't experience the act of giving joy, and Mom you do that through your many scares. God, calls mothers to give up their lives for the sake of others—to abandon their own desires and put their child’s interests first. Mom, I appreciate you for doing that for us. Mom, when pain overcomes me I feel as if I'm collapsing on the inside and crying out to God, “I cannot handle any more!” your little inaudible whisper encourages me: “You are going to make it because I am here.” Love You Mom...
