Happy Mother's Day

God sees all the true Mother hearts He created, event the sneaky ones without children. 

For God is not unjust. He will not forget how hard you have worked for him and how you have shown your love to him by caring for other believers, as you still do.

Hebrews 6:10

Dear Friend,

Hello!  I've missed you!  Are you well?  Because it is mothers day I would like to write something profound, but frankly I'm frightened to post because I'm so stupid tired I shouldn't be at a computer.    Right now my entire house smells like bbq-ed pork, my kitchen sink is lost somewhere on the counter and i have over 7 loads of laundry sitting on various chairs throughout my domain.  I have two hours before I need to leave the house, before then I need to bleach my kitchen and make potato salad for 40.  Not sure about how I spend my time... 

This week has been filled with joy, mild hysteria and vats of tea.  I have been working all week on a school project, alongside many devoted mothers. Some of these ladies have children. Mothers day can be hard on those without born children and I wanted to state/shout/affirm that God sees all sacrifice, selflessness and service.  He knows and celebrates true motherhood regardless of how off kilter this day has become.  Some of you have aching hearts, oh hold on!  God sees your suffering.   I am praying for you, especially today.    

To my dear friends who are single mothers and widows, may I remind you that not having a husband does not diminish your role as a mother.  On the contrary, your solitude has forged your role in a fire that brings out its raw beauty. You are ridiculously amazing.  

Motherhood: could a word hold more hope, love and pain?  

Be kind today...be thankful...be sad...call someone you love ( your Mama if you can) and thank God for mothers.

Such an achey, wonderful broken day,
