Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mothers Day Means More

"Happy Mother's Day" means more

Than have a happy day.

Within those words lie lots of things

We never get to say.

It means I love you first of all,Then thanks for all you do.

It means you mean a lot to me,And that I honor you.

But most of all, I guess it means

That I am thinking of

Your happiness on this, your day,

With pleasure and with love.

I was blessed with a wonderful mother.

I was adopted at birth and from that moment on, she made me feel special.

She told me that out of all the babies in the world she picked me out to be hers.

I have never met, but always loved my birth mom for giving me life... and giving me to my mother.

...God could not be everywhere and therefore he made mothers."

~ Jewish Proverb

She was a wonderful mother and grandmother.

She has been gone for 23 years.... but we think of her often... and remember her with love.
...

When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child.

~Sophia Loren, Women and Beauty
...
I thank my children for making me a mother.

They have always brought me great joy.

Mother love is the fuel that enables a normal human being to do the impossible.

~Marion C. Garretty
...
It has been my privelige to be their mother.

Each one is a priceless jewel that makes me one of the richest women in the world.
They love me and honor me in spite of the mistakes I make and my faults.

I am indeed blessed.

I thank my Heavenly Father every day for them and for my dear husband.

Being a full-time mother is one of the highest salaried jobs... since the payment is pure love. ~Mildred B. Vermont

Some of you reading this may not have had nurturing mothers.

You may not have children ... or have lost children...or you may have children that are giving you a hard time...or don't respect and honor you.

I know these things can give you heavy hearts.... especially on Mother's Day.

I am sorry....but I encourage you not to give up.

God knows you... and is aware of your situation.... He loves you.

God loves all of us.....He wants you to be happy.

Your story is not over yet... Be faithful...be loving.. reach out to others... there are many around us that we can mother even if they are not our own children.

In doing this you will overcome your pain and sorrow and find joy.

I am wishing you all a very Happy Mother's Day

Love, Grammy Lura
