What is a mother?

A mother is unselfish. She devotes every moment to her family. From morning until night she is always giving giving giving. Families take a lot of work. There are dinners to make, groceries to buy, clothes to wash, lunches to pack, band aids for booboos, hugs for tears, and our mothers do it all. In fact, they get more done in a day than our country does in a year. Some moms even work, adding to their already full-time career. Why do they do this?

A mother is love. They love us not because we came from them. They love us because mother's can't help but love their children. Even when we disobey, throw tantrums, show disrespect, and forget to say thank you, they still love. Their mercy is unending, yet they lovingly allow punishment. Why do they love us?

A mother is a fighter. She stands behind us through every situation. She prays for our protection and salvation. She holds our hand through the dark nights. She scares away the boogie man and rebukes every dark spirit. She guides with wisdom. She does all of this and why?

A mother is a wife. She loves her husband and treats him with respect. She follows him down any path. She is his soul mate and best friend. She teaches how to love and respect authority. She shows us the true meaning of marriage. Are mothers perfect?

No they just do what Mommies do. They care, they love, they protect, and they guide. I am so thankful for the mommies in my life.

Happy Mother's Day to every mommy!
