A Mother, is one who sacrifices her needs for those she loves, her children and her family. A Mother’s love is closest, I believe to that of the selfless love of Jesus Christ. His love is demonstrated to us by his ultimate gift of self-sacrifice for our salvation. A Mother’s love is the best witness because it is selfless, her love endures the good times, the bad times and always seeks to comfort her children. A Mother’s love always hopes, always prays and always wants the best for her children.
The longing of a Mother’s heart for the happiness of her children is an unceasing song within her heart. This beautiful gift of a Mother’s love is so powerful. In the moments a Mother witnesses her children suffer, she longs to take their place, just so that they may be spared any pain or suffering.
The reality of this world is it is often times unfair and for some cruel. There are some that didn’t know a Mother’s love or had a Mother that was so wounded from this world that they suffered as a result by never knowing a love like this. It’s in this broken world that the Mothers who share their love help bring healing to those around them. A Mother’s love speaks through her actions each day, in the little mundane tasks of daily life that the world often overlooks. It’s in the simplest things that a mother’s powerful love is most demonstrated. A Mother’s love is a gentle kiss on a boo-boo, a hug before school, it’s in a home cooked Sunday breakfast for her family, a Mother’s love can be so many things but most of all a Mother’s love is felt even in the absence of her presence.
Yes, even when so much time has passed after her creator has called her home, the love that a Mother’s soul has poured out onto this world and those who were blessed to be in her life endures. Her love lives on in all those she has ever loved and especially in her children, who are a living testimony of her love and they are her gift to this world. I write this for all the beautiful Mothers that have touched my life and for my dear friend Cynthia who was a beautiful Mother that touched many lives and whose love lives on.
Happy Mother’s day to every Mother I have been blessed to know and to my beautiful Mother Madolyn, I love you with all that I am. Thank you for the impact you have made on my life.
With great love,
Amanda
