Mothers are God’s Love in Action

Why did God create mothers? I think God created mothers because she is God’s love in action.
A mother is always there when the whole world turns against you. Her shoulders are broad for you to lean on when you are sad. Her eyes see beyond what others see. You are the most beautiful creature in her sight. She listens to you with her heart. She dies to her wants and her rights so that you may have abundant, happy life, and yet she finds joy in doing it. A mother cries because God gave her tears to shed when life is hard. She doesn’t give up. She was born with conflicting emotions. Not to lose herself or to give you the best of life.
Every night and day she thought about you. She worries about your food, shelter, comfort and those whom you love. She wants to shield you from the storm, and chases the shadows away that threaten to dampen your day.
A mother knows that she’s not perfect, yet she struggles to be one. Her home is where her children find comfort and love. Her love is unconditional even if her children reject her. Her tomorrow depends on what she plants today.
Her touch can spell magic. It has healing powers. She disciplines, teaches. feeds her children but always with a loving touch. Her children emulate her, and she is the beacon in her home.
When she grows old, she is so blessed if she spends her last remaining days with her loved ones and not in the care of strangers. She’s not certain of tomorrow but she must go on loving.
No one was born into this world without a mother. If you are not a mother, you must have a mother. Mother’s day was proclaimed in the 1890 by Julia Ward Howe.
Mother’s day is celebrated in different days and months in different countries worldwide. The most popular mothers day celebration here in the Philippines is every second Sunday of May, which is today.
Your mother is God’s wonderful gift. She is only here today, and gone tomorrow.
