The Day After Mother’s Day…It’s A Beautiful Day of Celebration For Most Moms, But For Others…Not So

The day after Mother’s Day…it’s a beautiful day of celebration for most moms, but for others…not so much. So today, I want to pause and let the moms who are in the midst of the storm know that…we see you…you are not invisible. We see your sacrifice…your children may not recognize it today…but one day they will…and if you haven’t seen it, yet…take comfort in knowing that you know the sacrifices you’ve made for your children.

To the moms who love, unconditionally, while your child is going through the storm, we see you…loving your child regardless of their behavior…constantly pouring hope into them and reminding them that the purpose that God created them for…is still assigned to them, regardless of what they have or are going through and that even though you have to show them tough love, sometimes…there isn’t a day in their lives that they haven’t been loved and that there is nothing that they can do that will make you stop loving them.

To the moms who let your children eat before you do, to make sure they have enough, we see you…just believe…just know…no matter what you see, hear or feel…that it won’t always be this way. Believe in Something beyond what you see and teach your children to do the same, so that even when you’re gone, they always have a belief within…that no matter what they go through…things can and will get better.

To the moms who foster children…taking them in to protect them from whatever they need protection from, we see you…for those of you who protect the children that are entrusted in your care as if they are a precious gift created by God with a special purpose in life…may God bless you for caring enough to take these emotionally, mentally, and/or physically wounded gifts of God and protecting, loving and nurturing them back to health…giving them forever love, even though they are only with you for a season.

To the moms who’ve had miscarriages or lost children, we see you, too and acknowledge your heartache on Mother’s Day and all the days in between. If you have other children…we know you love and celebrate the ones who are here…but we know that where there was a child…inside/or outside…who is no more, physically, or you don't know where they are…there is a void. But know that no matter how much time you did or didn’t have with your child, the moments that were, were precious…try to find a way to celebrate their lives, in a way that brings more comfort than tears to you, in some way. The void isn’t something that will ever be filled, but we pray that, one day, you will get your joy back.

Praise and Press…moms…through it all…we see you and so does God!!
