Mothers

Mothers are at the center of life-giving. 

As I think of my own mother today,

 I think of how she was the hub of our family. 

She was an awesome example of God's love. 

She loved her family. 

She sacrificed for her family. 

 Watching the generation below me, I see  the young mother

 giving her own body for the use of her nursing baby. 

 I see a young mother giving up a whole night

of sleep to comfort a crying child. 

 I see the young mother's body growing and stretching

 to accommodate her unborn baby. 

 My mother did all of those things for me. 

 I did all of those things for mine.

  Now I watch mine doing these things for theirs. 

 I am proud to be a part of all of these precious life-givers lives.

I miss you dear mother.
