Honoring Mom
We are all so busy with our daily lives and time seems to move along so quickly. The casualty of our fast pace is sometimes the "in the now" moments. Fortunately, Hallmark has given us Mother's Day so we can dedicate an entire day to honoring Mom!
I would like to honor all moms by sharing some responses from contemporary mothers when they were asked, “What’s the most significant or profound thing you’ve learned and felt as a mom?”
Here are some of their answers:
* I learned that my heart beats inside my child. My love and energy are a part of her.
* There’s no limit on the amount of joy or pride or pain you can feel.
* Pick your battles.
* Leading by example goes a long, long way.
* I can never hug, or tell my children I love them, too much.
* Enjoy every single second. They grow up way too fast.
* I’ve learned that I’m capable of far more unconditional love than I ever thought I could be.
Finally, one mom put it simply but eloquently: “I came to experience inescapable, wonderful, beautiful, unconditional love.”
I encourage all of us to take the time to remember special memories of our mom or about being a mom!
