To let go of the notion (as you said) that how you celebrated Mothers Day somehow defines your worth as a Mother is so true. Let’s face it we want that heartfelt card that says how wonderful we are and of course a beautiful bouquet of flowers, and if it doesn’t happen we feel sad , hurt, and the day becomes one big depressed ordeal that you wish was over. I know this because I spent several years feeling this way longing for my ES to walk through the door.
For me I had to realize that Mothers Day is a man made holiday and it doesn’t supersede how our Lord looks at us. We are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus. Oh to fully understand, appreciate, and know this is difficult at least for me. As a Mother my prayer is that we can embrace and begin to understand how truly loved we are by our Maker regardless of how the world defines it.
I to love the quote from Hinds feet on High Places “ There is pain too, certainly, but Love does not think that very significant “. I find this quite profound, but something I will continue to ponder over and over. Blessings to all the Mothers out there May you realize how loved you are by the Creator Himself.

Starting three years ago, my Mother’s Day hasn’t been the same.

Yet, I’m still so thankful that I have and serve a True and Living God who is working it all out for the good. Yes, I will have thoughts of my son, DIL, and grandsons when this day arrives, but I’m also choosing in advance to be grateful; not allow my joy to be stolen, and I’m planning a nice outing to celebrate me just still being a mother and grandmother in spite of.

Happy Mother’s Day to you and all the hurting moms!
