Happy Mother’s Day to all of you current moms, step-moms, single moms, foster moms, adoptive moms, aunties, grandmothers, siblings, and moms in waiting who have loved a child and whose hearts are ready to pour into a child who will receive every ounce of you. It is a role filled with joy, tears, frustration, pride, weariness, uncertainty, laughter, sleepless nights and awe. Even when they are no longer babies (like mine who is 25) we are still Mom in new chapters and still have our hearts knit to the ones we love ❤️
For all of you precious ones that grieve the loss of a mom either by death or disconnection (emotionally or physically) you are loved and held. The Lord is your faithful Father and friend when earthly ties are released. May you feel the Comforter beside you as you remember and grieve the absence of that relationship 🌹
For you that parent as a single mom, you are amazing and not alone as God stands with you where there is a void. May you be held when worn out, comforted when afraid, provided for when you don’t know how to make ends meet and be surrounded by community as you raise your children with love and a sense of family 💐
For those who lost a child whether young or grown, you are loved and your tears are caught by God Himself. May He wrap you in His arms and clothe you in His love 💕 He knows your pain and stands with you in your grief. For those who have had an abortion, know your baby is in presence of Abba Father and has been taught by God as they grew. God offers not only forgiveness, but a complete release of guilt and shame as you turn to Him as Savior and Lord. ✝️ May you feel the intense love of the Lord envelop you, beloved.
For those who have longed for a child and have not yet seen this dream realized, you are seen by the Lord who knows you intimately. May our gracious Father give you peace and strength to believe in His goodness and pure intent for your life as you press in and press on in that hope. 🌈
For those who are estranged from your child for whatever reason, may the God of reconciliation work through this with you when wisdom dictates it and envelop your heart with peace if you need to love from a distance. 🌺
Wherever you are and whatever your story today, I pray every good thing over you and send much love.
