God sure knew what He was doing when he created mothers.
They are truly "special" people-dear to God's own heart.
I don't know how they do it, but mothers seem to have a
special ability to share their lives with others. They give unconditionally to
their mates, their children, the church and the community without complaint.
They are honest in word and deed; sincere and compassionate, making sure that
love is part of everything they do.
They are not afraid of being vulnerable; they believe in
uniqueness and in fact encourage it, not only in their own lives, but also in
the lives of others. They are proud of who they are and know that their job
"mother" is the best in job in the world!
Mothers seem to have a sixth sense. They allow themselves
the pleasure of being close to their families; they know what's going on in
their household and always seem to have an answer to every question, a solution
to every problem. No matter how busy a mother is preparing for her day, she
still has time to care about the happiness of others.
And even at the end of a day a mother's work isn't
finish-there's always laundry to do, a room to be straightened, prayers to be
said.
Now that I'm a mother and a grandmother, I have come to
understand that the love of a mother makes all the difference in life and
mothers truly are special people who make life beautiful. Happy Mother's Day to
mother’s everywhere!
