A time to celebrate all Moms. Or all woman in general. A wonderful day to just say Thank you and be thankful for a special woman in your life. A friend, a family member or even a neighbor.
Tomorrow I am most thankful for my Mom, who taught me so very much in life. But mainly she, knowingly or unknowingly taught me to be strong. Strong in my walk as a wife, as a friend, as a mom and as a child of God. My Mom has been through a few...let's say hiccups in her life. From things in her childhood, to things as a mom, things as a wife, and things with her health. Through it all she holds steadfast to her faith in Jesus. It has made her into who she is today.
I love to be goofy with my mom and I pick on her quite often. She's probably one of my best friends and She means so much to me! I think she knows that but I also know she appreciates hearing it. Soooo Mom I love you and I'm so very thankful for you! Happy to call you mom, friend and now even...my neighbor 😜
As I celebrate Mother's Day myself I couldn't be more thankful to Jesus for giving me everything my heart has every longed for...being a mom. Yes I'm tearing up 😂 I'm so very thankful for Trent! God truly blessed us with such a fun loving, caring, kind hearted little boy. I pray we raise him in the way he should go and that he continues to grow to know Jesus and one day does BIG things for Christ!! Through a fertility struggle, in His time, we were blessed beyond what we ever imagined and wouldn't change any part of that for the world! I'm also very very thankful for my goofy, strong willed, stubborn, lovable little Rylee. We don't know the path that Jesus has lined up for her or us, But through fostering she was brought into our family and I call her my daughter. She holds a big place in my heart and always will....even when I pull my hair out trying to knock that strong will to the moon!!! God has been so very good to me as a Mom.
Looking back years ago and craving to hold a baby and hear the words Happy Mother's Day I am now thankful for that struggle. So I would encourage you to look through the struggle, what ever that maybe, and focus on God and the Joy. He has a plan, He loves you and something big will come. You will be blessed!
For the Moms who have lost. My heart aches for you. I myself experienced a miscarriage and while I never held that precious baby, my heart was crushed when he/she was taken from me. I didn't think I would get through it, the broken heart, the lack of air, feeling lost and broken and even questioning God. We don't understand when horrible things happen and maybe we never fully will. But we need to pray for peace, Peace that surpasses ALL understanding. Again God has a plan, He loves us and we need to focus on Him and not on the negative but find Joy! Look for the Joy!! You WILL find it!
And for those who lost their Moms and aren't celebrating with them this special day. Still celebrate them. Cry those tears of sadness and smile from the Joy. Remember all those great memories. I can't imagine not having my mom so I'll be praying for you.
I hope all woman out there have a wonderful day being celebrated!
God bless
......Ew ew wait! I have to add this. I have to put a shout out to our pastor who just gave an amazing Sunday message. Lots of laughs! But something he got me thinking about is how sometimes our relationships with our moms isn't exactly how we had imagined. Not everyone has a great relationship with their mom. And sometimes we get upset with our moms because they just aren't as happy with the things we are excited about. And we make that a road block between each other. Remember that our moms have been through it, they've lived and experienced. For those of us who have God fearing moms sometimes they know best and maybe just maybe they see the hurt that can come or the bad in a certain situation. A mom always loves, sometimes way to strongly. And sometimes, ALL the time, they have our best interests at heart and love us so very much that they just can't celebrate something they think will bring hurt or hardship. Try to remember that and try to never make that woman cry!
With that I also need to thank the three people who so made it possible for Trent. Their willingness to give the gift of life to another family who so craved a baby in their arms. And also to Rylees Mom...I know her heart breaks today not only for Rylee not being with her but for her mom who she lost a few years back. Jackie loves her children to the best of her ability and I pray one day she will open her eyes to the love of Jesus.
