Life is so busy we sometimes forget the blessings in our life. For most of you, one of the most important blessings is that of your mother. Others are not so lucky and wish they had experienced what you have.

Being a mother, might be the hardest and most thankless job on earth. Most mothers can do it and do it willingly. Some, for whatever reason, cannot. Because of that, her children suffer.

A mother’s love for her child begins at conception. She carries her little one for nine months. Then, she cares for that child every day of their life until they leave home to start their own life. Her concern and love for that child never ends. She prays daily for them. Sometimes with tears in her eyes. Mothers are a beautiful expression of God’s love.

Mothers wear so many hats. When someone is sick in the family, she becomes the nurse. When someone is sad, she covers them with her love and counsel. When someone fails, she teaches them that God loves us and forgives us. She helps us make better choices.

She is the world’s best peacemaker. She is faithful, kind, and gentle. She cares about those in need and those dealing with sickness or life problems. She goes the second mile to help when there is a need. She watches the nightly news and worries about her family.

A mother is Christ-like. A mother would lay down her life for her children. A mother spends hours on her knees praying for her children. She is ready to make sacrifices for them. Her precious love demonstrates the love Jesus has for all of us.

Sometimes, being a mom feels like a thankless task, but to children, there is no one in this life who loves like a mom does. Show your Mom you love her and appreciate her, not only on her special day but as often as possible. A mother is a beautiful example of Gods unconditional love.
