Today is one that so many women hate. For that I am so very sad. In my Facebook post today I shared the following for it is a day that we should all take stock of what it represents, life.
"Mothers Day. What a day of emotions. Some are sad for they are not mothers, their mothers are gone, their mothers never 'showed up', their mothers are .... However, you are reading this because you had a mother and God deemed you worthy to be here. You are an influencer of people mother or not. You are special. So today I celebrate you who have no children but give back to others. I celebrate the knowledge that one Hallmark Day does not determine ones value. I celebrate the awesome mothers who are out there trying to do the best you can to raise little people in this hard world. I celebrate my daughter Christine, who is a great mom, my daughter Becky who is an incredible aunt. My mother who loves her family. My sister who has the capacity to give and to love beyond anyone one I know and to each women who has the capability to change lives regardless of her title. Celebrate those who are mom's! "
Today I take this scripture as it sums up the emotions of this day.
Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Romans
(Bible) 12:1
But do not resent, for that emotion robs you alone. Life is never fair. I have learned that the most miserable people around are those who focus on 'what they do not have' and resent that others appear to have that very desired thing. Look for ways that you can invest in another's life. A scriptural principle that I yet to find false is below. Give it a try.
For if you give, you will get! Your gift will return to you in full and overflowing measure, pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, and running over. Whatever measure you use to give—large or small—will be used to measure what is given back to you.” Luke (Bible) 6:38-40 NLT
