Motherhood 

I am thinking of all the beautiful women in this world that are mothers. How they have been part of the miracle and gift from God that life is. They are the instrument in bringing life into this world. How special is the gift of motherhood. How wonderful it is that there are women who also love children that they didn’t give birth to but love just as dearly as their own. That’s one of the most beautiful things about Love. Love knows no limitations. Motherhood is love.

I speak from the perspective of feeling the abundant love from the adopted mother God has placed in my life. It is a beautiful thing to know and feel a mother’s love.

I have always tried to comprehend what a mothers love would feel like as she watches her child grow. I imagine the joy and wonder in the smallest of moments, in the first word, first step and the beauty of everyday moments…as I am not a mother, I can only imagine. I have witnessed many moments where I see a mother interacting with her child and it touches my heart. As I observe, I look with wonder and awe at this beautiful bond that exists between two souls. I have asked friends of mine to describe their love for their child. The most recent response I got was : “It is pure love…the purest love you can imagine.” My mind has often wandered in contemplation for those women that have always longed for a child but for whatever reason or circumstance their lives didn’t get to experience that beautiful gift.

All I know, is that that all women are called to love. It is something innate within the fabric of our beings and it is what fulfills. To all the beautiful women in this world, the mothers in all ways, in distance, in prayer, in their unending love to those they call their children and to those who never were blessed with the gift of motherhood you are in my prayers and are a beautiful gift of love to so many in uncountable ways..your love is infinite and for that I thank you.
