GRATEFUL "MOTHER'S DAY"

I am coming up on another "Mother's " day and thought about how many years of service in that area.  I use the term service with humbleness because all of my children are still with me and are in good health and doing well.  My place as a mom, mommy, mama, , moms and mother all has different meanings to each one of them.

As a mother we have desires, goals, for our children but at the same time raise them to be themselves and question sometimes what happened to"our" dreams when they differ with the child's dream.  However, when a mother sit, back and actually reflect on what her desire was for her child when they change and be independent and take their course......we are to be grateful for that as well.  Our son's we want to be good men, community oriented, love and be a good husband and father.  For our daughters we want them to meet one of the sons of another mother who has raised him to be what I want my sons to be.

However, sometimes the challenge comes when our children take the path less traveled and make their own paths and although it looks a lot different from what we envisioned, at the end of the day; if they are happy it is a good place.

I am called blessed because of my children and their place in the world, each of them will have a indelible mark on this earth and my prayer is that it will be to make a difference in someone's LIFE!  My prayer is that they are compassionate, giving, caring and genuine in what they do for others.  My prayer for them is to make a difference in the world and be willing to stand and make change.  It is not easy to wear the "bulls-eye" but taking the hit in the center radiates so much farther out in radius to benefit others and not only themselves.

On this "Mother's" day, I can look around and see that each of them as different as they are, make an incredible difference in someones life and that difference is in MY LIFE!

I want to"THANK YOU"  for the love, kind acts, thoughts, hugs, kisses, and special things you personally do to tell me that you love me.  YOU ARE THE VERY BREATH THAT I BREATHE....AND MY PURPOSE TO LIVE TO WATCH YOU LIVE.  GOD has been good to me....all are grown and living your lives to your own beat!

I LOVE YOU TO LIFE!

RESPECTFULLY,

Your, mom, moms, mama, moms, mother
