Mother's Day Thoughts and Encouragement

Life moves fast.  The meaning of holidays can get lost in the shuffle. Mother's Day is a holiday which can rush up and rush by in the busyness of this time of year, for me.  But I'm stopping today to think and share encouragement about being a mom. Read this, if you're a mom of little children. I'm sure it was the Lord Who led me to read a few of my last year's posts on the theme "A Mother's Heart." Short and sentimental, this one's entitled, "Treasure Them While You Can."

Every year I find myself wondering, "What can I do for, or give to, my mother that will bless her this Mother's Day?"  This morning I woke up with the idea of writing my mom a thankful letter for all she is and has been in my life.  In fact, I thought that each one in our family should write a note of thanks to her.  Perhaps I was unconsciously prompted by last year's Mother's Day post, which my husband wrote. I had forgotten that he wrote this until I began reading past posts, and I might have lost this tender and timely message, had it not been recorded here.


Please read Make Your Mother's Day Special--Honor Your Mother, written by my husband. It's partly history of the holiday, partly exhortation to all who have a mother, and profoundly thought-provoking. It was presented to our Home Church which met on Mother's Day last year.


Finally, as a mom, I am very proud of my children. But God gets all the praise. Read this heartwarming story that tells of "A Good Day In The Life of a Mom" when I received something that all moms look forward to getting and treasure forever when they do.
Happy Mother's Day!
