Mother’s Day is bittersweet if you have a good relationship with one child and a non-existent relationship with the other. How on earth can this happen? Well, today we are not going to try to figure this out. No one is to blame, and no one is to be sad.
Today is a day of celebration!
Celebrating love. 
Celebrating life.
Whether or not you are in good standing with your children, today is a day to celebrate Mothers; regardless of the emotional baggage that may or may not be there. Mother’s are rocks. Mother’s are saints. Mother’s are close to being divine. Whether your mother is alive or not, think of the nine-month gestation period which she carried you. She loved you from the moment she suspected she was pregnant. She delivered, fed, and nurtured YOU! And, that is worth celebrating!
God, the God who made heaven and earth that is seen and unseen, who hear God’s voice. The Giver of Life. The Almighty God. God brought all goodness to the planet. It is the people and the work of Satan that destroyed so much of the goodness. In the end, God will reign. Forever and ever. The human mind doubts this, and it is tough to believe that there will be a forever and ever. Life will end as we know it; yet, our spirits will live. It will BE forever. Your soul will commune with God eternally. You will live in the light, and your physical aches and pains will disappear. You will have no more pain. No more sorrow. No more heartaches. You will be reunited with those who have passed onto the next life before you…spouses, parents, all of your loved ones and especially estranged children. Declare God’s divinity now! Stand up! Be accountable! Ask Forgiveness! Go and spread the Good News! God is alive! Every knee shall bow down to God. Be bold and worship! All are welcome and that means YOU…it is time…rejoice! God is alive!
what you need to do. God provides choices. Weigh them carefully. Ask for guidance.
dness to God. For that matter, hand over all of yourself to God because cynicism is real and prevents blessings. Let God mold you. Trust God. There is nothing to fear. God has been walking beside you your whole life. God gives you what you can handle – nothing more – nothing less. Open your heart and your mind. One day it will all make sense. Until then, go to God. Receive God’s, infinite love. Ask God to comfort you and to make you feel comfortable. God’s arms will embrace you with love and calmness. When you find that place within yourself, you will find peace. God will do a mighty work with you. Keep listening. Keep communing with God. God’s love is overflowing, and God can’t wait for you to choose to receive it. God’s presence is everywhere. It is in your emptiness and depression. It is in your joy and celebration. God is walking with you day by day. Walk humbly. Be kind. Go forth and spread God’s love.
Love. Love is a treasure. You are learning what really matters in life. Keep an open mind and keep God in the forefront. God will lead you to people who can help you. Relax. Be yourself. Be confident in God. Be confident in yourself. You are a child of God. God is a big God. You will do great things. Seek God.
Do you have children? It is so important to take time for your children. Leaving children to fend for themselves is not God’s plan. God wants each parent to love and encourage their children and to supply their needs and to build character and to be a blessing. Each child in this world needs to know that they are a blessing. A gift. A gift from God. No child should ever feel that they are a burden. Parents, often, do try their best and may not deliberately mean to damage their spirits. Talk to friends. Talk to neighbors. Encourage them to talk about their children. Encourage them to love their children. And, love takes time. It is not about stuff. It is about time you choose to be with your children. Walk them to school. Play games. Go to the playground. Cook a meal. Love your children and show them they are worth the time. They indeed are a blessing. Make sure they know it!
st adequate; but magnificent. You are perfect. You are perfect how you are. And, that is different. Being different is okay. You are you. Be you. Embrace yourself, and you will shine confidence to others. Keep all of the words that you hear in your heart. Keep them close. Visit them to refresh your memory. God honors. You will see great things ahead. Live each day with God at your side. Trust God. Love God. Call God’s son.
