If you ask most women what the most important day of their life was, a big majority would reply the day their child or children were born. We were designed for nurturing. I read a survey a few years ago that asked men what they based the value of who they were on and the same question was posed to women. Men responded the amount of money they earned from their job and women responded how their children turned out as adults. Big difference between the two and yet both are very important for the survival of the nuclear family.
I am blessed to still have my mother and my mother in law. Both have loved me and have been supportive of me during the most difficult challenges I have faced in this life. Tomorrow my husband and I travel to Michigan to visit with my mother inlaw for a week to celebrate Mother’s Day with her this year so I will not be posting anything next week. I have friends who no longer have their mothers. It is very important to me to celebrate with the “two moms” that I do have in this life. If you are a mother, I hope you feel very blessed this weekend by your children and your husband. If you have your mother still or a faithful and kind mother in law, I hope you spend some time celebrating them. Be blessed and courageous!
