I feel like Mother's Day should be Child Appreciation Day. They are the ones who made us Mothers, after all. Without my children I wouldn't bear such a noble title. Had I not met there sweet little faces the day they were born I wouldn't know how to love so fiercely. I would not be the woman I am today without having experienced the joys as well as the trials that each one of my littles has created amongst their short little lives. Next to meeting my Savior, these children I have been entrusted with have caused me to grow more than anything else I've experienced in my years. They are my gifts. Greater than any flower or well-written card. Treasures beyond measure. My inheritance.
"Children are an inheritance from the Lord. They are a reward from him."
Psalm 127:3
Don't get me wrong. I am thankful that there is a day set aside to honor this role. It isn't an easy one. Becoming a mother caused me to see my own mom in a whole different light. How hard she worked. How much she sacrificed for my sister and I. I am so thankful for her. I am thankful for all the 'moms' in my life. I am surrounded by many strong women. Wonderful examples for me to follow..
So blessings to all you moms out there!
I pray you are showered with love and affection by the ones who gave you that title this weekend!
