Mothers, Happy Mom's Day!

When I became a mother, my life changed in every aspect. It is indeed true, that a child changes everything. As in EVERYTHING. However I tried so hard to understand why I was changed just by the single tiny infant who was born in me, I still cannot fathom how lucky I am for the privilege of bearing a child. I think this gift of labor and child delivery is but one of the reasons why we are being honored on this very day. It's true, we can not measure the tremendous love that God has for His Children in human terms. However, I do believe the closest thing on Earth to that great love, is the love a Mother has for her child!

Therefore, on this day we honor one special lady in our life, our Mother. If you are a mother yourself, then kudos! So, LET YOUR FATHER AND YOUR MOTHER BE GLAD, AND LET HER WHO BORE YOU REJOICE, ( PROVERBS 23:25 ) and may she/you be filled with God's Love, Hope, Faith, and Peace today

and everyday!

The following was sent to me by a friend long time ago which I've kept in one of my saved drafts. I feel that it is appropriate (to the max!) to share it with you today. It is called:

Why are you crying, Mom?

"Why are you crying?" he asked his Mom. "Because I'm a woman" she told him. "I don't understand," he said. His Mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will"..........

Later the little boy asked his father, "Why does mother seem to cry for no reason? "All women cry for no reason" was all his dad could say........

The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry...

Finally he put in a call to GOD; when GOD got on the phone the man said, "GOD, why do women cry so easily?" and GOD said.......

When I made woman, she had to be special. I made her
shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the World;
yet, gentle enough to give comfort....

I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children......

I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining......

I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very badly...

This same sensitivity helps her to make a child's boo-boo feel better and shares in their teenagers anxieties and fears.......

I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.....

I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but, sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly.....

I gave her tears to shed. They are hers to use whenever she needs them. They are her secret strength. They make her more like ME.....
