Mother's Day

Why do days like today have to be all about what someone did or did not get you or do for you? What made you so special that you have to be told on a certain day or at a certain time that you are special?

I am special in my son's lives year round and they let me know it in special ways. They pick up after themselves so I don't have to come home from work and trip over stuff they have left lying about. They cook for themselves and for me, and don't complain about it, when I don't feel like cooking. When I'm tired they get ready for school or work and let me sleep in and when I'm sick they take care of me.

Little notes, a flower from the bush outside my door, a cup of tea on a cold morning are all signs that my boys love me. Their love is year round and not just on holidays.

My love for Jesus is the same, I let him know I love him throughout the year and not just on Easter and Christmas. I don't 'belong' to a church but I do belong to Jesus and he knows that everyday.

Look for the little things in your life that show you how much you are loved and don't forget to show your love to others.
