Mother’s Day 2014 Written By: Angela Michael
Moms
are special for many reasons, including their amazing “superpowers”
– like Mom ears that can hear and decipher rapid-fire questions coming
from several children at once. Or the ability to convince kids that
chores are actually fun! She has eyes in the back of her head as
she taxis her brood to various activities and serves as an air traffic
controller. Moms are the first responders, the first line of defense for their
offspring, the backbone of the family. A Mother juggles the
responsibilities of managing the emotional roller-coasters of her young
adults and the hormonal haze of her teenagers as she wrangles her bug
crazy adventurous kindergartner and tenderly cares for her special needs
toddler. A Mom is the wind beneath her children’s wings as she carefully
protects and guides them through the storms: weather-related and
life’s rites of passages. She nurtures them as they grow and test her
patience time and again. She is always there to fix their broken wings,
dry their tears, and pick them up as she navigates them home through the
darkest of nights. A Mom puts her children’s happiness and well-being ahead of her
own as she teaches them the hard lessons and to do the right thing. Motherhood
may be bittersweet: it
may feel like your ladder to success is really a greased pole; but
don’t give up! Be strong and do not lose courage. There is hope in the
rewards, such as the special needs child who never speaks, yet
surprisingly whispers “rock a bye baby” after you lay him down to
sleep, and when a stunned and
tired Mom goes to pick him up, in a tiny voice he whispers, “I wuv
you, Mommy.” On this day of honor, we thank all moms for their courageous love
and sacrifice. To birthmothers who lovingly chose adoption for their
children and to those who gave the love of their hearts to adopt
children, we say to these and all mothers, thank you, for your love does
not go unnoticed. There is no greater gift than the gift of life. We
love you all the days of our lives. “Thank You, Lord, for the joy and wonder You have given me
through children. Thank You, Lord, for wide eyes and innocent ways, and
reminding me to keep a childlike perspective on life. Help me to always
see the spectacular in the seemingly ordinary events of each day.”
Happy
Mother’s Day! |
