This Mother’s Day, I thought I should send a note, dear one. Perhaps I could start with “I see you, I’m with you” line. That would be nice to read but it may not completely be as comforting. Obviously, I can’t see you, and I’m not with you.
Here’s what I know, and happy to share though.
1 Thessalonians 5:24 (KJV).
The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it.
***
I praise God with you for all His blessings, pure and complete
I praise Jesus with you for all His perfect gifts, precious and miraculous
Holding your little one in your arms, observing with latent focus
For a moment it’s only you two in the world
The bundle of joy you carried with all dedication and all your love
Truly….many are the wonders of our God.
***
Yes, another semester, and with a little one
Clad with the in-betweens of grad school journey
You may spare the details but you know what it takes
A colorful calendar tugging the time with you
Just another hat added to what you wear already
Managing your career and nurturing a baby(ies) alongside
The struggle to be a mother yet productive at work
The days may be long but keep in mind the years are short.
***
Ponder on the love of God that has led you here
Meditate on his love all deep, wide and reaching
You are diligent and you have all it takes
God gave you, and He will help you
Your baby is grateful and full of love for you
You got this! You are tender and strong for your baby
Keep it going, mama.
***
Your tribe.
Oh, find your tribe. Shared joys, jokes, and support are nice to have
A shoulder to cry on or a listening ear
You will need a lot of help, so don’t refuse help
Not everyone will get it, but God has prepared a few for you, and you for a few
Stay thankful for the ones you can pray and praise with – true and kind.
***
Look at you, look at God
Confess the peace of God over your life and journey
Stay intentional
Commit your priorities to God, trust also in Him
Rest in your Lord and Savior.
Stay connected to Him to draw strength.
Rejoice in your God always.
When all is done, don’t forget the state of Being. Just be.
Pull your loved ones even closer, and enjoy the time.
***
Imperfect perfections
Release the expectations to be perfect
Simply be a mother with all the love of Christ deposited in you
Learn from your baby as you teach your baby
Allow the healing process take its full course
Can we stop with comparisons, please?
Accept, love, and respect your body
Trust your instincts and do what is best for you, and baby.
***
So, God sees you and He knows you
He knows you by name not only as mom!
Before you know it, your little one will no longer be as little
Praying for God’s ultimate care on our million little miracles.
Motherhood is a calling whether you are a biological mom or not.
Praying God fulfills His purpose in us as moms to His glory. Amen.
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!
