MOTHER…..

This word almost always, first and foremost, brings the image of our own mothers to mind.  Of course!  And the idea that we all (with the help of Hallmark) would set aside a special day to honor Mothers is sweet and loving!

Along with this, however, I would like to suggest two additional thoughts:

1.  Let us keep this mind-set of honor each and every day throughout the year for these women who’s every thought is consumed with family and their happiness.

and….

2.  We keep in mind all women, whether they have bore children or not, who embrace people around them with the heart and soul of a mother, who gather the lonely and lost, homeless and broken into their bottomless hearts for care, respect, and tenderness that only a “mother” could share.

Whether good or bad mothers, happy of sad memories, take this coming Mother’s Day and come to terms with the frailty and faults, beauty and the burdens of any impactful women in our lives.  Whether it’s a time of honor…. or of releasing a painful past, make this coming “Mother’s Day” and every day after special in someone’s life.

ALL THE GOOD THAT A SIMPLE

CAN DO!”
