Happy Mother's Day

I am sure you must have seen this on social media. It is a job interview for the post of a mother. I can’t think of something better to showcase what and who a mother is.

For all that you do and for all that you are, mothers, you are celebrated today. Considering the times in which we are with many become super teachers and full-time caregivers – you are applauded. Keep doing what you doing and may the Lord give us grace to see our children full purpose and destiny in Jesus’ name.

Happy Mother's Day greetings from my mum

My thoughts are with mothers who may feel unappreciated today or feel that they have nothing to celebrate. Some mothers are sad because despite their sacrifices in raising their children right, the children have not turned out well or simply don’t appreciate all they have done for them. Some may be sad because they messed up as mothers when their children were younger and now their relationship is detrimental to everyone’s health.

To such mothers I say, move on. Don’t stand the corner waiting for appreciation or affirmation that may never come. Don’t sit at the junction of seemingly ineptitude as a mother; move on. Don’t wallow in self-pity and guilt; get up and move on. Move on to realise that sometimes no matter what you do, children still need to make their own choices. Move away from a guilt-ridden life to forgiving yourself for failings you may have had while raising your children.

Get up by beginning to do what is right by them. It is time to get on your knees on behalf of your children because it is never too late to do so. And if you turn those issues to Him, He is still in the business of putting smiles on faces that have shed tears for long.

Happy Mother’s Day
