Mother’s Day 2012

The second Sunday in May is designated as Mother’s Day. It is a time to show appreciation and express our gratitude to our Mothers. Remember that the love a Mother demonstrates is special. The unconditional nature of a mother’s love serves as a reflection of Divine love.

Women often find that becoming a Mother changes them in ways much deeper and more profound than they had ever expected. Becoming a Mother is something, which once done cannot be changed for as long as you’re alive. All other roles can change in life, but being a Mother cannot be changed even long after your children have grown and moved into their adult life.

The bond that is forged between a mother and child is unique in our human experience. It is like no other relationship. So as this Mother’s Day approaches and unfolds let us take the time to reflect and remember with appreciation all of the unnamed blessings your Mother has bestowed upon your life. And if your Mother is still with you take the time and this opportunity to express your love and your gratitude to your Mother. It is for this that this day is set aside.

If for just 10 minutes you sit and ponder on what you can appreciate about your Mother, you may find your gratitude and love growing. Let yourself remember the little things that did not seem important at the time that can now be revealed as a blessing and benefit to who you have become, that were provided for you with love by your Mother as you grew into becoming the person you are today.

And if in this recollection you find sorrows that need healing, take this time to forgive and focus on the love and positive blessings that you received. As you express your appreciation and gratitude you will find an increase in understanding and compassion for this woman, your Mother. And if your Mother is still with you take this day to tell her how much your appreciate her. Express your love and your gratitude; it is what Mother’s Day is for.

Mother’s Day Quote

M-O-T-H-E-R
“M” is for the million things she gave me,
“O” means only that she’s growing old,
“T” is for the tears she shed to save me,
“H” is for her heart of purest gold;
“E” is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
“R” means right, and right she’ll always be,
Put them all together, they spell “MOTHER,”
A word that means the world to me.

   – Howard Johnson

And Mothers, take this time to consider and appreciate your children for the love and the lessons of growth they have brought into your life. Let the experience of Mother and Child fill your life in a way nothing else can. Bathe in the golden warmth of these feelings and enjoy and appreciate them as the special experience of life that they are.
