Matthew 3:34-25
34 Then he looked at those seated in a circle around him and said, "Here are my mother and my brothers!
35 Whoever does God's will is my brother and sister and mother."
Yesterday I met my Mother at her church for the annual Mother's day photo shoot. I hate going. I protest each year that rolls around and it always makes me physically sick. She knows how much I don't like going, but I do it because she is my mother and I would feel guilty not showing up. The truth be known, I feel guilty anyway because I am doing something in her honor that I don't actually have my heart in. When I search my heart to see what might be my problem, all I find is guilt.
Today will be much better. Today I'll be able to tell my mother in my own way how much love I have for her. She is an inspiration and while I don't aspire to be like her, she has and does influence my life in ways I am proud of and I'm thankful I have her for my mother over any mother I know. :) I'm also thankful that I can go to her anytime for any reason and she is always there with open arms.
Annette, a friend of mine, said that on this blogosphere we become like mothers to each other. I agree, so with that I wish you a HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
