Mothers . . . some had tough Mothers, some had tender, some had more than one and others had none. But no matter your past, you’ve reason to praise! The phrase isn’t to negate your disappointment, grief, or heartache from your past if you didn’t have your birth mother healthily present but to look over your shoulder to see those God had/has brought into your life. Those women who, possibly unbeknown to them, stepped up and into a mother-type role for you. And for of you who have not been able to have your own child, the encouragement is to be that loving, guiding, lifting woman to someone near you! This Mother’s Day, let be a of a day of celebration, release and embracing the love that God has brought around you!
