I know I am early on this, but I will be traveling on business on Mother’s Day. I just wanted to honor my queen of a mother with a Mother’s Day post. So, without further ado, here are 5 reasons mothers are awesome (especially mine!)
1. She knows.
Simple as that, she knows. When your mouth says, “I’m fine”, but your heart is bleeding, she knows. When you’re lying, sad, happy, she knows. We wonder how it is she knows, but she always seems to have it right.
2. She always knows exactly what to say.
When you’ve made the biggest mistake of your adult life, and you’re waiting on the “I told you so…” speech, it never comes. What comes instead is words of love, compassion, and grace. She is always ready with an “I love you” when you need to hear it, but she is also never afraid to call out the greatness in you when she knows you can do better.
3. Her hugs are like none other.
Moms arms are like home base. When she folds you in her embrace, you know you are safe. You know you are loved. You know everything will be alright.
4. She is a great role model.
Is she perfect? No. But you wouldn’t have her any other way. You model parenting your children after how she mothered you. She never asks anything of you that she isn’t willing to be or do herself….and you end up praying that you somehow can be HALF the parent to your children that she has been to you.
5. She makes you proud.
She is a woman people admire and love. People tell you all the time how sweet your mother is, how wonderful she is. When people tell you how much you look like her, you no longer wince or roll your eyes. You’re proud of that comparison and hope people feel that way about you one day.
So, here’s to you Mom! Whether your Mom is still here, resting with Jesus, a grandmother, aunt, sister, friend, or just a motherly figure, take the time today to tell her how much you love and appreciate her. I would love to know how a mother/woman in your life has changed your world! Comment on this post or email me at ag@nursingforall.com
With love always,
