DJ: " Good Morning Mom."
Me: "Good morning son how was your rest?"
DJ:"It was good, you feel ok Mom?"
Me: "Yes DJ I feel blessed this morning, how about you"
DJ: "I'm good, Mom can you bring me breakfast in bed? I am so tired."
Me: short pause... "Uh son it's mothers day can I get breakfast in bed?"
DJ: " I'm just messing with you mom, (evil chuckle) Breakfast is ready come downstairs"
There is no better way to start a day. Every morning I am greeted by a child that is not only smart as all get out but has the greatest personality and the best sense of humor. He constantly reminds me what a joy it is to be a mother. Sometimes he even acts like he is my little husband and it cracks me up because you really can feel all the love he exerts from his being.
I love being a mother, it is such a fulfilling feeling of love and affection that can make my hard day into a great day.
As this morning continues to progress and my family allows me time just to be me. I sit and reflect on my own life.
I think about my mother and the impact she left on my life in the short time that I had her with me. For those who do not know my mother passed away when I was 9 years old. In those 9 years of my life my mother taught me so much. She taught me how to be strong, how to love others, how to pray, how to be a real woman and a great mother. No matter what was going on with my mother's health she was always there for me and always loved me unconditionally. I now realize that my mother was the strongest woman I have ever known. She always continued on in prayer and love and that was enough to teach all of her 4 children how to carry on after she left her earthly form.
I often become a little sad knowing that my mother never was able to see me get married, was never able to meet her grandchild, then I realize she is always with me. She lives on in my heart and her spirit is always surrounding me guiding me to a life enriched with love. I wish I could touch her, feel her comb my hair, feel her kiss on my cheek, hear her voice say I love you...... What I would do to feel her hug....
This mothers day I have reflected on my mother and all that she has taught me. I have made it my business to make sure that I attempt to be as good a mother as my mother was.
Be Blessed, Be Encouraged & Be A Blessing!
