“Can a
woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son
of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.”—Isaiah 49:15
(KJV)
******************************
It’s the day to honor mothers and
grandmothers everywhere. Well, we should respect them every day…
For this
writing, I have collated some sweet, unexpected thoughts from my two children
and my daughter’s boyfriend. Their comments will be in quotation marks and in
the table I created below.
******************************
“They
brought us into this world, so we wouldn’t be here without them.” Well said!
That one sentence clarifies our common debt to mothers everywhere. How do you
repay the gift of life? Think about it.
“Mothers do
a thankless job.” Very true. The most important job in the world is an unpaid
position. In some cases, we receive little appreciation, too.
“They always
see the good in us.” It’s human nature to be selfish and hurtful at times.
Mothers look beyond that. They see bright potential. “They provide a positive
perspective on life.” “They love and provide for us unconditionally.”
“Mothers want
to see their children grow.” Other people aren’t always on our side. Mothers
want us to succeed. “They are there to support us when others are not.”
Love
|
Give special care fathers can’t.
|
Want the best for their kids.
|
Guarantee us a shoulder to cry on.
|
|
Spend much of their time with their
kids.
|
Discipline with love.
|
Have neverending love.
|
|
Shower their kids with love.
|
Try to have an emotional connection
with their children.
|
Support our decisions even if they are
bad.
|
My Conclusion
Mothers are
our shield. How do mothers defend and support us? “They’re someone we can trust
no matter what.” “Mothers try their best to push us in the right direction.” “They
always encourage us to do the right thing.” “They teach us how to fly when we
leave the nest.”
Have you thanked your mother lately for
teaching you “the ways of life”?
