...The Greatest of Love...

Tomorrow we celebrate 'Mother's Day'.....for many it will be a day of love and laughter as little fingers color pictures on a card and proudly present their precious tokens of love to their sweet mommy....they will gather early in the kitchen with dad and whisper as they cook up the greatest breakfast ever made whether it be cereal or whether it be a buffet of everything you can imagine for breakfast..whatever it is..it will be made with the greatest of love.

Tomorrow we celebrate 'Mother's Day'....for many it will be a trip across town or across country to join with their siblings to gather around the table and treat their mama with food and gifts and lots of love and memories as they remember times gone by...and look in amazement at all the sweet babies of the next generation....or they may meet and gather at mom's favorite eating place and let someone else do the cooking and serving as they just share love and laughter around the table..whatever it is...it will be done with the greatest of love.

Tomorrow we celebrate 'Mother's Day'....many will go to the local grocery store ....pic out a little hand full of flowers and grab a card...as they dreadingly wait fo the time to pass...tension will build...there is hurt and angry deep down from unresolved issues..but the world seems to declare that it is their duty to acknowledge this day...so they put on a smile and whatever it is... make it seem to be done with the greatest of love.

Tomorrow we celebrate 'Mother's Day'....Many a child will stand by a tombstone and lay flowers on the grave of a dear mama that can no longer hold them and comfort them....many a mother will stand by the grave of her precious child...taken too soon from her arms...never to hear the sweet words 'Happy Mother's Day mama' again....they stand alone at that moment as their heart aches or as tears fall with no words to be found....whatever is it...it will be done in the greatest of love.

Tomorrow we celebrate 'Mother's Day'...many an adult will have no part of it....they will only have anger and hate for their mama....a mama who left them and abused them...never knowing the love that every child should know from a mama....another baby will be thrown to the wayside like common garbage....another child will be beaten and go hungry...pleading for mama to help them while she turns her head for more drugs or alcohol....many an adult have cut all ties with their mama because of such hurt and cruelty as a child.....

Any animal can lay down in the woods and give birth...it does not make them a good mother....many a child has been taken in and loved and nurtured only to turn their backs on those that loved them and go seeking their so called 'real' parent...the truth is the one that loved you..cradled you...prayed for you and would give their life for you is your parent....whatever happened in your past is just that...'in your past'...you survived it....forgive and move on..stop letting it eat away at you like a cancer...the bitterness will only turn you into the thing you despise. Be determined to be the best mama you can be...if you are blessed enough to have your mama with you still...let her know you love her....it's too late when she is in the coffin....if for some reason there is things from your childhood that haunt you...something she might have done or said...forgive her...sometimes situations cause people to do desperate things..especially if they don't know the Lord....you can't say what you might have done had you been in her shoes...but whatever it is...for your own happiness and the happiness of your own children...forgive them and move on....whatever it is....and do it in the greatest of love...

Where ever and however you celebrate Mother's Day....I hope you have a blessed one...if you still have your sweet mama lift your hands and praise God....let her know each day what she means to you...and do it with the greatest of love.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY EVERYBODY!!!!
