Mothers have a list of “jobs” that never ends.  No matter how old your children may become, their happiness and their sorrow becomes yours.  Raising children, whether they are yours by birth, adoption or additions to your family by love, they are the best gift that you will ever receive. 

Our lives are busy, but out children are our investment in the future of this world. It is easy to keep your children busy when you are busy.  Handing your children things to play with instead of spending time with them is a big mistake.  Teach your children the power of communication.  Show them how to be kind.  Give them memories that will help them understand the importance of family. 

Mothers matter.  Raising children is a privilege that should be taken seriously.  There are too many children that are missing the chance to be loved and have the gift of a giving Mother. 

For all of the Mothers out there…this is your day to be recognized for all you do.  If you can provide mothering to additional children, do it.  My home always had more children living there than my own, and it was a blessing to have them there.  Happy Mother’s Day!  Have a wonderful day!
