Happy Mother's Day

....to you in all it's forms....whether you ARE a mother, or you're helping a mother celebrate...and if you're neither then you need to look for someone to relax with today......
because someone else is in your shoes today. No one is EVER alone....you are NOT alone......and we all need one another- to share life with.......

I witnessed a LOT of unkindness this week. Amazingly, much of it came from one mother to another mother......and in my finite mind I always thought mothers were plain ol nurturing. I've lived in a naive bubble where people tend to be kind and gracious, polite and considerate.
Apparently that will NOT always be the case.
So I'm urging you to look for the good in people today......because there was good in someone as you were being carried around for 9 months. And we all have OFF DAYS.....but we shouldn't take them out on each other....

Because love and goodness are part of the plan of a loving God. As He formed you and knit you together, His hope for you was joy and peace, and love and forgiveness. And no amount of rudeness, or impatience, judgement, or harsh words can erase the genius that is YOU. You are perfectly and uniquely complete....and destined for greatness......even if it's just through a simple act of love.

And if all of that kindness is floating around tomorrow....great things can happen. The hands and feet of God will be moving around....and nullifying all the uglies that I saw this week.
So get out there and make a difference in someone's life today. Love them.

For love is by far the Greatest reason to celebrate Mother's Day.
