A MOTHER’S LOVE


"The heart of a home is a mother's love"


The expanse of a Mother’s love cannot be overstated. It nourishes, it heals.
The story is told in an article, compliments of Circle of Moms, of a baby boy, a preemie twin, whom the mother was told, had died shortly after she had given birth to him. The nurses placed the precious lifeless body of the little boy on his mother’s chest for her to say her goodbyes and a miracle happened. The baby began to move and grew stronger and stronger by the minute.
In this Easter season, I have been thinking a lot about Mary the mother of Jesus. The bible did not mention specifically about her agonies in the events leading up to the crucifixion and the crucifixion of her son. The accounts given in the four gospels mentioned that people followed as these events unfolded and watched the crucifixion from afar and women were among this crowd, which included Mary the mother of Jesus.
I can only imagine that she was in agony, especially seeing her child being whipped and mocked and then seeing him on that cruel cold cross, bloody all over. What mother would not feel that in the bottom of her stomach.
In this Easter season, let us all as women reflect on the role we play here on earth. As women we are given the ability to love in such great expanse. What a blessing. We love our children no matter the heartaches they give us. We love our husbands no matter how imperfect they come to us and we work tirelessly to make our family environment comfortable and nourishing.
Think of how different this world would be if we all practice love of this nature.
HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE
