7 Ways to Celebrate “Her” this Mother’s Day

You are So Blessed to Have a Mother

There are many many reasons to celebrate your mother this year. First, let’s look at “What a Mother is”. A mother is someone who birth a child; adopt a child; or someone who raised you as their own.  Not every mother birthed you from her womb, or is your biological mother, but she might as well have been, because a loving mother sees you as her own.

Welcome to my Blog/Article in support of “All Mothers”.  I just so happen to be a Mother of 5 beautiful daughters. 3 by adoption.  I will not say that raising 5 girls was an easy task, because it wasn’t.  But, if you asked me if I would do it all over again, I would probably say, “ABSOLUTELY”!  But I would do a few things differently.

I chose to write this blog/article because whoever your mother is, or was, you can find a blessing in it.  I am sending this message to every child through adulthood all over the world.  If you are blessed to have a mother this “Mother’s Day”. Show her your gratitude and appreciation.

If you haven’t seen your mother in one day, or in  5 years, this is the time to reach out to her, not just because Mother’s Day is coming soon, but because she is your mother. Let all the dead bones stay buried, put it aside and enjoy this time together.

We live in a culture where life get’s busy. Many times we are too busy to reach out to the ones we love, especially our moms. Let’s change that this year! I am calling on everyone, young or older to reach out to the mother in your life this Mother’s Day!

Remember, Mothers have been places where you have not.  She has experienced things, that only a few people can imagine. Mothers hold the home together, and prays for you often.  Mothers are great people to talk to – even when you think your friend knows best. She wants you to have fun, be safe and do the right thing. You may not like what she says, but in most case, she is right.

The question was once asked… Is there a such thing as a “Bad Mother”?  I would argue the fact that the answer is “No”.  But, I would agree that there are mothers who have made “bad choices”.  I believe that every good mother would agree that mothering is a tough job, and along the way mothers will have to make tough choices, and many times these choices are not good ones.  But, that does not make her a bad mother.

So, lets look at 7 ways we can celebrate our mother this Mother’s Day.

1. Call her on the telephone.  This is the easiest and most efficient way to show your love to her. There is nothing better than her hearing your voice.

2. Send her a Mother’s Day card. Be careful with this one, cards can sometime say words that does not apply to your relationship with her, and she will know that you did not put much effort into choosing the right card to send her.

3. Send her flowers.  Now if you can’t afford this one, go with numbers 1 or 2 above.

4. “Zoom Conference” with her.  This is a great way to see her and talk with her all at the same time. Make sure she is able to connect with you on a Zoom call.

5. Drive by her home and call her on her phone and ask her to look out the window. If you live in the same city.  This is especially special if you have children. You and your family can keep your distance outside your car, but can say to her “You Love Her”.

6. Mother’s love sharing church service with her family. Send her the link to your online church service, and enjoy sharing that time with her as you continue to engage in social distancing.

7. If you don’t know where your mother is…..Find her!  Then call her and let her know that you are nearby, in heart and in person.

I wish all of you “Success” this year in celebrating your mother.  She is SPECIAL!  You will be so glad you did.  I look forward to hearing your feedback below!
