"Regarding Mothers"
"I have one small request to make of you," she said. "Do not refuse me."
The king replied, "Make it, my mother; I will not refuse you." – 1 Kings 2:20 (NIV)
Why do mothers love their children so much? I believe that love was instilled in each female, a SPECIAL emotion that a mother feels, to her very being.
Mothers do so much for their children as they grow to adulthood, at least
the average Mom does.
From the moment Mothers look into their new baby's eyes. . .There is a
connection of "Oneness" It begins there, that urge to take care of that child, nurture it, and protect it, with their very own life. They start "Giving" and it is giving, that they do the most of.
They see to it that their child is fed, clothed, taught their manners, taught
about "God" And most good Moms try to set a perfect example for their child.
Long story, short a Mom gives "All." She gives medical care, she is a Cook, and House Maid, a Teacher, a Diciplinarian, a Psychologist, a Protector, a Judge, she is everything rolled into one person. Her love, like the love of Christ, is "Unconditional" and "Sacrificial."
Oh, she makes mistakes too. . .As her children do. . .BUT, together they seem to make a great team. It seems too, that "Mothers" rearly receive the appreciation and gratitude they should.
Is it enough to take a gift on "Mother's Day" and kind of take a Mother for granted all the other days,throughout the year? Doing that is just "Human Nature" I suppose. . . Yet, Mothers understand that. They, like I said . . .Love unconditionally.
So please be sure to set aside a "Special" time to show appreciation this Mothers Day, maybe with a word, a phone call, flowers, whatever it is, she will cherish it, with all of her heart! Then try real hard to take it to the next step, treating every day as if it were "Mothers Day."
To those of you reading this. . .Are you a Mother, a Step Mom, an expecting Mom? Whatever the case, I want to wish you the very best "Mother's Day" and pray you have all of your
children beside you, to share this day of "Love"
Gods blessings,

"Mother"
With my head laying softly against her
Felling so protected and secure
Stored away.... Are thoughts remembered
. . Of my Mother,whom I adore
With arms so firm and loving
She held, and rocked me to sleep
As I drifted off to "Slumber Land"
A watchful eye. . .She'd keep
Remembering times, as I was growing
Her image . . . Was there to recall
Feeling a love so deeply devoted
I understood, even though so small
Years passed . . . One after another
With things of life, and such
Yet mixed with so many memories
Remains, the Mother, I love so much
Allowing . . . Just enough freedom
To venture out on my own
Still not severing that invisible cord
Until she felt I had fully grown
Always there, within my reach
With a smile, or to wipe my brow
So many lessons . . . She did teach
While helping through trial after trial
She knew when it was time to "Let go"
As I explored life on my own . . .
Standing quietly, in the background
The love and pride in her eyes . . .Shone
I give thanks to my Lord, up in Heaven
For providing this extension of His love
Knowing a Mother would nourish and care
For her children . . . Sent from above
I know as I venture forward
From one stepping stone to another
I'll never glean from another source
The "Unconditional" love of my Mother
