Happy Mother’s Day
To my mother who is a Biblical example of what a Mother should be.
Proverbs 31:28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
Titus 2:4-5 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
To my mother-in-law who gave birth to the child that grew up to be my amazing and wonderful husband.
To my many friends (and other women) who have adopted or are waiting to adopt.
To the foster mothers who love and care for children between homes.
To the birth mothers who love their child enough to give him/her up so he/she can be raised in a loving and stable two parent family.
To the mothers who are pregnant on this day.
To the mothers who are, “My kid’s Mom.”
To the ”mothers” that “mother” the children of others.
To the widower being both Father and Mother to his child(ren).
To those for whom this day also brings sadness-
The mother who is waiting to miscarry.
The mother who has miscarried.
The mother who has lost a child at any age.
The women who are grieving a lost mother.
And to the many, many women who greet this day with empty arms and aching hearts.
Happy Mother’s Day.
