A special message to my Mother on this Mother's day. Dear Mom, I am all grown-up with my own children. I remember you telling me that I need to listen to your teachings, because one day when I have my own children, I would have to teach them the very lessons you taught me; lessons that life is a gift from God. You showed me that when someone gives you a gift, you are to show the utmost gratitude. You taught me, Mother, that we are to live life in thanksgiving to God.
Each day, I watched as you struggled with everyday life, but I also watched as you went through it singing songs of gladness. I watched as you endured days of sorrow and days of brokenness, but you never let that stop you. You gave me inspiration, planted a seed of faith and purpose in my life. You gave of yourself, when there was not much more to give. You gave your everything for your children, when the rest of the world was sneering at the idea; the idea of being a good and godly parent. You sacrificed your own pleasure and desire to take care of me, even on the days of your illness. One day, you will receive your great reward. But I just want to give you your roses, while you can still smell them, Mama. You're not a celebrity. You're not a movie star. But I love you, Mama Sarah, cause you're the best woman in the world. You're my Mama.
To all the Mom's out there, you are all Super and all Special. No matter if you are a work mom, or a stay-at-home mom, you are holding the MOST important job in the world; the position of being a Mother.
Moms, this song is for you.
