Mother's Day 2013


Mother’s Day is redolent with memory
May we make some good ones, today,
as we recall countless memories this day.
A mother’s memory is a marvel,
as they can instantly recall the favored treat
for each member of the family flawlessly.

We are grateful for all of the sayings of mothers-
some impenetrable some wise, some bizarre,
but they are anchors in our minds
for ways t9 approach life away from them.

Eve, the Bible’s first mother, has a sense of the living one.
A mother’s love gives us a deeper insight into the life of God
A mother’s love could be the mother bear in Hosea,
as a mother’s love is a fierce love,
Look at the mothers with Elijah and Elisha,
and look to the nurture of Isaiah's nursing mother.

Compassion in Jeremiah is motherly love
Compassion drove Jesus to raise the son of a Nain widow

Could mothers have it all?
Can any human being have it all?
On this day especially, may mothers know the depth of devotion.

May mothers be blessed in abundance for all they did and do.
No mother is perfect, so
amy they be gentle on their missteps
and may we be open in forgiveness

May they be recognized for their countless,
unseen hours of work and worry.
We do recognize the pride mothers have in us.
It may be the closest we get to see
the very pride of God.

No one sees the potential in us like a mother.
No one sees the good in us so clearly as a mother.
No one hopes in us and for us like a mother.
