this Mother's Day, i'm practicing gratitude for the feminine, mother-side of God. feeling worn down by the chaos in our country, i'm looking toward God, my Mother, for comfort, care and guidance.
God, our Mother
she is wise, protective, unstoppable.
she is caring, creative, gentle.
she collects her babies, holds them close, never lets them go.
she anticipates needs, always one step ahead, ready to give her babies the best.
she works hard to give them food, often sacrificing herself to provide.
she is Mama Bear, on guard to fight the harm that comes to her babies.
she is Auntie, lavishing gifts and attention so her babies know they are loved and special.
she is Grandma, generously giving wisdom, guidance, unconditional love.
Happy Mother's Day to us all --- on Sunday, give thanks to God for Her unconditional love for you. and, be sure to recognize the image of God displayed in the women all around you.
