Okay, so here's the deal. Sunday is Mother's Day. It is a day with mixed emotions for most women. Some find it relaxing, others find it stressful. Some find it filled with love, others find it lonely. Some find it happy, other's find it as a day to feel guilty... for all they DIDN'T or AREN'T doing as a Mother. Some feel the pain of never having been able to bear children, others feel the pain from children who have made serious mistakes. Some find joy, others sorrow. Whatever, the case, and whatever the emotion , I hope we are all understanding of each other.
At church Sunday, we were given the challenge to write a letter, send a card, or make a phone call, this week to a woman who has had an influence in our life for good--a mother, a sister, a grandmother, an aunt, a cousin, a friend, a co-worker, whomever. So, I pass this challenge along today. If you have time, or even it not, take the time to tell someone how much they mean to you. It will make their day and yours!! We just never know what effect that could have.
Remember, "The hand that rocks the cradle, rules the world".
Be nice to People,
Julie

So True Julie. Thanks
Nice post, you are always so sweet and kind to others and their feelings. Tell Rebekah congrats on her big win....yeah! Have a great day, so glad that you are feeling better.
What a great assignment. I was sitting here thinking that I will write just a little note to my girlfriends and remember them on Mother's Day. Most of their families will remember them but how special to receive something totally unexpected. Thanks for the great idea.

Amen, Julie! What a wonderful post.
My mom sends a Mother's Day card to her elder sister every year. My aunt is five years older than my mom and, when my grandmother died (when Mom was only 10), she became a surrogate mother to her. They are very close and we all adore her. She never had her own children, but we all belong to her just the same. She's a spectacular lady.
I hope you'll enjoy your Mother's Day, my friend...
Oh Julie. What a great challenge. Instead of feeling sorry for myself on mothers day (why do I do that?) I'll try to remember my mother and since she has passed I'll write a note to my MIL. I don't thank her enough. In fact I avoid her and I shouldn't. She's a good person. We are just very different. You really hit the nail on the head with this post. I get muddled around mother's day. Always feeling imperfect and sad about one of my children's choices. I should be looking outward instead of inward. I wasn't even going to go to church Sunday to avoid the whole thing but that would set a very poor example to my children still at home. Sigh. Motherhood can be very complex. I am sure I make it moreso. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
I just had to stop by and say hello! I miss visiting with you so very much. It is always a joy to read your reflections.
Wishing you a wondrous mother's day!

OIh my goodness - I just realized you don't have the followers thingy and that is how I have been keeping up with blogs and I am way behind on yours - I am soooo sorry! I am going to read all the back to where I left off! No wonder I missed you!
Happy Mother's Day!! And I love the assignemnt. Before I posted about my mom, I sent her a version of it and made her cry! Does that count?
hugs, Linda
Very true! Happy Mother's Day!
