My name is Karen. I have three grown children in Scottsdale but I now reside in McKinney Texas
The real reason for me writing tonight is I was thinking about all the Mom’s that are raising children, or have raised children, and those who have the priviledge of spending time with their grandchildren. How blessed it is to have a Mom. Mom’s are an accelerated species of the female gender and God made them knowing how to instinctively care for her children like nobody else will. Not that she is perfect, but her heart is different from anyone else’s heart. Her hands hold tenderness unequalled. Her smile lights the candles of each of her children. A Mom’s prayers are heard throughout eternity and somewhere past, present, and future they are answered and put in God’s hall of fame.
Oh, momma…momma; thank you for giving your heart to me. Momma I really love you. So, today and throughout eternity, let me add to your answered prayers in God’s hall of fame for mothers. First , it is true I did not follow your instructions for a long time. I knew I knew better for a while. Then I found out how hard it is to give my heart and lay down my life for my kids. I really did not know about all the fears I would face and the mistakes I would make. I used to think it was so easy to face every situation with all the right answers, the right timing, and be praised by my children for my valiant efforts. The opposite became my truth, as a mother.
Thank you, momma, for still giving and unselfishly loving me in the face of my ridicule of you. Oh momma, please forgive me for the thoughts I have thought about you and the things I have said about you. God, please forgive for these things I so proudly said against my momma. Even though I was never close to my Mom, I seem to know how her heart must have broken over and over again, the tears and the sighs over what she just was not able to accomplish. LORD, I pray that all Mother’s in this world present and future will embrace your grace and love through every failure and every success, knowing You, Jesus, also gave your all for us knowing in the end we will overcome and be the children of the Almighty God the author of LOVE. I love you, Momma.
I'm from the Tyler, Tx area,
I'm from the Tyler, Tx area, but live in Mesa now. Its so nice to see other Texans. You are so right. Fathers are important, but it is something about a mother's love that makes the home complete. I never understood how important a mom was to a young child until I had my own at age 36. My husband lost his mom at age 21 and he cries on Mothers Day after losing her 15 years ago. We all need to remember our moms on this special day. Nothing can take a moms place.
One Happy Mom in Arizona.
There's nothing or no one in
There's nothing or no one in the world who can take the place of your Mother. At 48, I lost my Mom. Now at 50 I miss her more than ever. Maybe it's because I'm going to be a brand new, first time grandma. I thought time would ease the loss but it doesn't. Be good to your Mom's!! No one loves you more, cheers louder or stands up for you as your Mom does. No one is missed more after she goes.
