A Day to Forget

I have been praying a lot this week about what to post for Mother’s Day. This morning I thought about how I have celebrated Mother’s Day this week. I had the pleasure of a cuppa with two daughters, I spoke with my mother over the phone on Thursday and again this morning and I anticipate a visit from my sons today. So many blessings! Yet, God made me think about all those women who don’t have these blessings. What about the women who have no children, the mothers who are facing their first Mother’s Day without a child? Think about the mothers whose children have abused them, forgotten them or just don’t care, how about you give them a special thought. SO:

Dear Lord

You know all those women who would rather forget what this day is supposed to celebrate, who are sad, lonely and hurting badly. I ask that you wrap your arms around every one of them, give them comfort and help them to see one little thing to make them smile.

Amen
