Mother’s Day Thoughts
Mother’s Day is a double edged sword for me. I am not a mother. I would like to be one. I also lost my mom at a somewhat young age. I feel like the adult me never got to know my Mom. A friend of mine posted a link on her Facebook page that almost undid me on Friday. This line really grabbed me: “each milestone is a mile more in the road that we don’t walk together.'” Even though I am sad, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the women who have taken the time to speak life into me over and over again. I have been blessed with so many friends over the years. Many of them a little older than me but some my age or younger. They have had wisdom and words of encouragement. They have modelled for me what it really means to be a woman of faith. They honoured me as a woman and called me out. So to all of those women I say “Happy Mother’s Day!”
