I haven't posted on this blog NEAR as much as I thought I would…only once, to be exact. But with Mother's Day quickly approaching, I figured it was a good time to write something.
In this day & age, the true meaning of Mother's Day is overlooked. It's just a day to buy your mom flowers & tell her you love her. But it's so much more than that. Mother's Day is a time to tell your mom how thankful you are for her, how much she means to you, & how much you love her, something that, I admit, I fail to do frequently.
I have been blessed with a Proverbs 31 woman as my mother. I love her & am so thankful for her, & I don't tell her that anywhere near as often as I should. My mom is a woman who not only cares for her family, but has devoted her entire career to caring for others. She works so hard, & does everything in her power to meet our every want & need.
I have also been blessed with several Godly, motherly influences in my life. Whether they have children of their own or not, they act like I am one of their own. No matter where I am, I know someone is there to be a guide when I don't know where to turn, a shoulder to cry on, & a wooden spoon to knock me into shape if they need to. 😉 I thank God everyday for blessing me with such a wonderful mom & so many Godly influences, none of which I deserve. I pray that, one day, I can be a mom like mine. I pray that I can influence my little girl as my mom has done me.
To all the mothers out there, including my own, thank you for all that you do. Thank you for the sleepless nights we've caused you; the tears you've cried for us; the meltdowns you've suffered through; the love you never stop giving. I love you Mom. ❤️
