HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!!!!

The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness. 

Honore de Balzac, author 

If you're a mom, you're probably up answering all of the beautiful text messages, tweets, Facebook messages, phone calls, etc from loved ones, wishing you a Happy Mother's Day (so am I, you're not alone).  Being a mother is a SPECIAL gift in and of itself in various and sometimes strange ways.  Strange because for most of us, motherhood has changed our perspectives on life.  We stop thinking about ourselves ALL of the time and now share our hearts with our beautiful children.  

To the mother's whose celebrating their 1st Mother's Day today, get ready, get ready, get ready, to have an awesome experience of your life!  With hand written cards created by your toddler at a later date, roses, cards and balloons from your teen (asking to borrow your car, give them spending money to go out with their friends, yes I know, it's your day, but that means nothing to teens LOL).  Moms this is a great opportunity for your teens to do those chores you just don't feel like doing and please use, "It's Mother's Day, I'm OFF", and onto watching your once bundle of joy become an adult and also a parent.  

Mother's have always been pillars of our communities since the beginning.  Look at our beautiful first mother, Eve,  that was created in the midst of God's garden.  Let us not forget our ancestors and our living elders, from the great great great grannies to our granny on this day, who have passed down many family traditions to us all.  

We are blessed to be mothers and share an unlimited bond of sisterhood between us.  Today, enjoy your day, kiss and hug your kids, no matter their age.  Check on our elderly moms.  Let the word of the Lord plant seeds of peace, strength and courage inside of you as you sit in the church pews today (say a prayer for me too).  

Whatever you do today, ENJOY IT, after all it's YOUR day!!!!!!
