Mother’s Day! posted on May 10, 2009

Love it, can’t help it! Don’t want to help it!

Parenting is a blessing and privilege. It is not for everyone but indeed, for many.
If you have a mother, thank her, today.
If you are a mother, thank you from all of us.
If you are a single mother, double thanks for the good you are in the world to your children and others.
If you want to be a mother, praise God for you and bless you.

Let’s all pray for women who hold so much love in their souls for the children of their bodies and their hearts that if it were expressed out loud, the world would melt into an infinity of loving.
So, what if we just have to express this love a little everyday so the world can keep spinning and not just, melt? What if we have to work to pay the bills, grow the food, make the sandwiches, scrub stains off the knees of pants, and read bedtime stories - to eek out this love a little at a time? What if we have to drive someone to the first job interview, learn to cook for food allergies and teach songs for the school musical, to meet a need with our love? What if we have to go to bed exhausted but get up early to find clean socks for gym day and not forget to reach for the tooth under the pillow? What if we hold their tears, laugh with their joy, guide them to have their feelings, be respectful and compassionate while learning to trust the God of the universe in all things?

What if we understood the Creator loves them at least that much?

Happy Mother’s Day and God bless you,
Pastor Robin
