Mom's...


For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
Psalm 139: 13-14

First off… Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful Mom’s in my world and any others who might read this!

For the past few days I’ve been driving by a local church that has the following on their sign out front, “Thank you God for Mom’s”. Each day I read it, said “amen” and pondered it.

I am so very grateful for my Mom and all she is to me. We have a relationship that is absolutely wonderful and one I wish all children could have with their own mothers. I’m also grateful that I was blessed enough to be a Mom to my daughter. My ponderings on that one were rather harsh as I wish I could have a “do over” in that department. I know I can’t and the good thing is my daughter and I have from this day forward and I feel our relationship is growing and blossoming… this makes me very happy.

The other thing I have thought about is how God in his infinite wisdom created Mom’s. He could have made humans appear in any manner He wanted. It’s rather frightening to think of all the things that could have been. But as always He had the perfect plan and through His love for us He carried it out. God gave us Mom’s! He knew that we would grow and thrive under the care of our mothers.

I would like to say that all have a wonderful childhood with fantastic mothers, but we all know that isn’t the case and I’m not qualified to go into the why’s and how’s on that issue. What I do see is God’s amazing plan for us and how He created us so wonderfully so that we can help to carry out His plan.

Thank you God for Mom’s!!!

~ Lord, thank you for creating us and loving us. You gave me a Mom to love, protect and care for me and I am so very grateful. Please help me to be all it is You want me to be… to not only my family who I love so much, but to every person that crosses my path. I ask this in Jesus’ name, Amen.~
