Happy Mothers Day



The wedding day, the day you give your heart away to, in some cases(mine especially), practically a stranger. We take a giant leap of faith that this person will be faithful, love us, and never leave us. We extend our heart out in hopes that it will be well taken care of and never broken, it can be a tough decision.
It does not compare to how a mother gives her heart away when her child is born. A tiny little life, no bigger than a loaf of bread, is placed in her arms, helpless. At that moment it is too late to change your mind, you're already in love. In love with someone they've just met, a mother has no regard for how her heart will be treated by this person, no worry, no doubts about his or her faithfulness, her entire heart is given away with no thought to it being broken. That is being a mother.
I am so blessed to have a wonderful loving mother of my own who loveS me so unconditionally and I am double blessed this day to be a mother. The Lord sure knew what he was doing when he brought us here to love a tender small child SO much, even when they are screaming, kicking, or in some cases telling US to go have a time out. Love at first sight is an exception not the rule with finding a husband, but it is always the rule when becoming a mother.
With all of my love to my dear mother, my sisters, and my friends, Happy Mothers Day.
