Happy Mother’s Day
Your mothering may look different than those around you or what you ever imagined it would be. But this day is for you too.
Today I acknowledge you who are hurting this year. “I see you. I have not forgotten. God has not forgotten. YOU are not forgotten.”
To the woman looking at yet another negative pregnancy test; I see you.
To the woman holding only a memory of a heartbeat, I see you.
To the woman staring at a gravestone, I see you.
I see your bravery every time you smile and every time you get out of bed and every time you hold a baby that isn’t yours and every time you give the honest answer about how many children you have. I see your sacrifice when you show up to church or to work or to your best friend’s baby shower even though it hurts like hell.
I see your selflessness when you put another’s needs above your own, even when your heart is breaking.
I see your compassion when you weep over another’s story of loss and heartache.
I see your faith when you praise the God who could have stopped this pain.
I see you. And I am so grateful for your example.
Your example has changed me.
