HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL!

I am sitting here without my kids today, they are spending the weekend at my mom's so that we can go out to dinner tonight to celebrate Mother's Day with my mother-in-law at our favorite restaurant. It takes me back to the days before marriage and children. I would dread going to church on that day because I was "old enough" to get the gift (usually a flower to plant) to honor mothers. I truly appreciate now the wonderful blessing of being a mother and know that there are many out there that do not get the opportunity to have children. I am truly greatful for the fact that my children are all healthy and I pray for those mothers that have children who are not, it must be a real struggle for them, but I also know that they will receive wonderful blessings for being a great mother in raising their children.

I have realized that those that have not been able to have children are just as influential in the lives of others around them. For example, I have an aunt that was unable to have children but she has been there for each of her nieces and nephews and you can always count on either a card, phone call, and/or email on your birthday, she never forgets.

I was raised by a wonderful mom and had the priviledge of having a wonderful grandma and aunts to help me in my path in life, I salute all of them this Mother's Day.

Happy Mother's Day to all moms and women of influence!!!
