Mother’s Day
Wishing you a bountiful - blessed day!
You deserve it today and every day.
What is a mother? How does one define the word?
So many define and redefine even
grope over the six- letter word.
Well, let us see what Webster
dictionary states,

2: derived from or as if from one's mother

or
moth·er | \ ˈmə-t͟hər \

3: maternal tenderness or affection all my mother came into mine eyes and gave me up to tears—

END of definition.
There is no one way to define the
word ‘Mother’
A Mother or a Mother figure could
be a sister caring for her sibling, an uncle looking after his nephew, and a
father raising his child or children due to circumstances beyond his control.
A neighbor taking on the
responsibility of a mentoring parent
A ‘Mother’ does NOT have to be
the same ‘DNA’
A mother is one that:
·
Shows empathy,
listens,
·
Willing to go
the extra step to see that your needs are met not necessarily all you want/desires.
·
Give
encouragements, your first cheerleader!
·
Tell you when you
are wrong – no such thing as a free lunch!
·
TOUCH LOVE -
Helps too!
·
Dinner and family
discussions on life lessons, refinement, current events, culture and religion
·
Make sacrifices
for the loved ones
·
Shows patience, teach forgiveness and to be
respectful toward others and siblings.
·
Up early morning
hours caring of the fever that will not break or
·
the late night
waiting for the child to return from an outing with friends.
·
try to shield
you from pitfalls
·
To help you
·
Guide you the
best they know how – after all there is no real blue –print to motherhood. Many
learn as they go
·
Others reply
upon mentors, family, grandma, grandparents, for guidance.
·
Note: Some of
the learning past down was learn as you go!
Hoping that all - in – all, you would learn how to amidst turmoil. Your will have strength and tenacity to move
forward and not give up!
·
Seek G-d for
guidance and grow with Him as your anchor.
·
It was through the grace of G-d that ‘each
one- teach one’ from one generation to the next.
·
Perhaps all the
qualities were not apparent to you – ‘move on’
·
and focus on the
few that were felt.
·
The blueprint-
Create a blueprint for you, your child, grandchild, siblings. Create the things
you felt lacking as a young adult.’ Create your blueprint and let go! ‘Without
trying there could be no learning…’
So, to all the Mothers, guardians, mentors, neighbor’s, sibling rising
siblings, fathers raising children, spiritual leaders being a mentor, and
uncles and aunts raising nieces and nephews…
Today and always we
CELEBRATE YOU!
HAPPY MOM’S DAY
