Happy Mother’s Day!

May11

It’s Mother’s Day . . . yay!!!

What would we do without mothers?! Well, for one thing, we wouldn’t be here! Moms are special, for sure!

Whether it’s your mom, step-mom, or adopted mom, how about making a list of how special she is and all that she’s done and sharing it with her?! She’s sure to love it, and I’m sure you will, too!

Here are a few of mine . . .

  • planning my summer birthdays in the backyard with neighbor friends when I was little, and we’d play Drop the Clothespin in the Bottle and other fun games
  • taking me to dance, piano, and skating lessons every week
  • taking me to Bridgeman’s for ice cream . . . always a special treat!
  • playing tennis and golf with me when I was older

As you honor your mother today, how about doing something special for her, too . . . maybe breakfast in bed, a surprise picnic in the park, or making her favorite dessert!

And if she’s no longer with you, my heart is with you, and may you cherish those treasured memories of her.

So hoping your day’s special, and Happy Mother’s Day to you!

Hey, tween girls . . . it’s Mom’s Day today! A day you especially honor her even though I hope you do everyday! What do you have going? A picnic or barbeque or some fun in the sun? Whatever it is, I’m sure it’ll be great!

As you honor her, how about telling her all the things she’s done for you and still does for you, too . . . or sharing a first memory with her, too. One of mine is nestling close to my mom while she talked on the phone, and she’d wrap a lock of my hair around her finger and twirl it. I just loved that and still love that memory, too! How about you?

So Happy Mother’s Day to all of you, and may it be a sweet, special day filled with lots of love and hugs!

‘Yay’ for Moms

May11

We pretty much couldn’t live without moms, right? . . . since that’s how we got here, anyway. The list is long when I think of all my mom has done for me and what I love about her . . .

  • having summer birthday parties for me when I was little                                        
  • twirling my hair as I nestled next to her when she’d talk on the phone
  • bringing me consomme and crackers and jello when I’d be sick in bed
  • taking me to ballet and piano and skating lessons, and being there for me at recitals
  • playing golf and tennis and skiing together
  • checking up on me while doing my homework making sure I wasn’t working too hard
  • sending me cookies when I went to summer church camp and off to college, later on

And the list goes on and on . . .

Yup, moms are pretty special, and as you grow up, they’ll still keep being your mom! They’re there for you and love you and are always rooting for you, even if you don’t feel it at times.

But if things aren’t going well with your mom right now, just know that she loves you and wants to get back on track. If you’re sad or mad, just talk to her and listen, knowing she wants what’s best for you.

And if you’re one who’s lost your mom, feel God’s arms embracing you, and think on all the good things about her, knowing she felt bad about leaving so soon.

In Ephesians 6:2-3 God says, “Honor your father and mother so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.” So how about making a list of everything you love about your mom and all the things she does for you? And then give it to her. I know it’ll make her day.

So ‘Yay’ for moms on Mother’s Day! And remember to honor her not only on this day, but every day, and you’ll live the long life God has planned for you!
