It's Mothers Day!

by Laura Thompson

It's Mothers Day...a time to celebrate our mothers all across the country.  There is a uniqueness in all mothers that brings out how special mothers are to their children and to the world.  Mothers can brighten our darkest hours, moments and seconds.  There is something about a mother that creates a sense of safety and protection.

When we hungry...we think of our mothers standing over a hot stove, going through the drive thru at our favorite fast food restaurant, sitting at the dinner table waiting for the food to be served.  No matter how old we are...our mothers are the one's we think of in our times of need and celebration.  When we accomplish major goals...it is our mothers' name that we lift up and thank.

Mothers have endured a lot...more is expected of mothers than you can imagine.  The weight of the world is carried by mothers.  Can you imagine a world without the goodness, kindness, greatness and tolerance of our mothers?

The one who stays up or stayed up nights when we couldn't sleep, weren't feeling well, had a bad day or exciting news to tell her that just couldn't wait until tomorrow.  Mothers have endured the heartbreaks of life with us and encouraged us to keep the faith and who reminded us that this too shall pass.

Now today it's our turn!  Although we can never repay mom for what she's done for us, given us and continues to provide for our souls...we can certainly take this time to acknowledge her for her GREATNESS & LOVE that has carried us through and to the mothers who are yet to be....

IT'S MOTHERS DAY!  HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO MOTHERS OF THE WORLD!  WE ARE HERE BECAUSE OF YOU AND OUR LIVES ARE ENRICHED BECAUSE OF YOU!
