Mother's Day...

Today is what is considered "Mother's Day". Since my mother has passed away, and I have no living children, this day is bittersweet. The sweet comes in through my sister, who is doing an awesome job with the "Toddler"(my nephew). It is so amazing to see her mold and shape this little person, who will one day dress her in fleece jogging suits and Velcro sneakers and put her in a nursing home, lol. Seriously though, she is truly going off of instinct since our mom is not here to guide her, and she is handling her business. I applaud her and all mothers everywhere. That's the blessing...The lesson is if your relationship with your own mother is not good, clean that up. Life is too short to have regrets, especially with the person that God chose to be the vehicle to get you here. Being a mother doesn't come with a manual, most of the time it is trial and error. God just happens to agree with me, so much so he made it one of the ten commandments...Exodus 20:12, " "Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you." Your mother doesn't have to be your best friend, but give honor where honor is due. Since you reap what you sow, think about the seeds you are planting with your mother and the harvest you will reap with your own children. Fleece jogging suits, Velcro sneakers, and nursing homes...need I say more, lol. Even if you don't agree with me, thank you for taking the time to see it Jen's way.
