Mother’s Day – What does it mean to you?

Well, tomorrow is Mother’s Day, and it is one of the most precious days of the year to me. It means that I have achieved my lifelong ambition of having children, raising them in a Godly home and teaching them about the ways of the Lord.

The presents are really unimportant, although everyone pitched in and bought me a pair of slip on shoes in summer because that was when I needed something. Mind you, it is very rare that I actually need something. Am I that different to everybody else? No, I don’t think so, but I just feel content with what God has given us.

Do I need expensive coffee makers to make me happy? No, my husband makes THE BEST coffee in the whole world. Do I want the latest in digital technology? No, I have a son who does, though. To my way of thinking, when we buy all the latest appliances, we simply become a slave to them. They almost always need charging, cleaning or attending to in one way or another.

My husband gathers roses for me from the garden, or one of our children will write messages in the sawdust for us, saying, “I LOVE YOU”. The other one will send me tutorials for Photoshop CS4. I feel as if I’m the luckiest Mum in the whole world.

Praise God for his everlasting provision over us and His love toward us, unmerited as it is.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mums in Australia, and I hope that you have a wonderful day!

   Happy Mother's Day! Nah, I don't go for the commercial stuff either. Intangibles for me; they are far more fun & actually require my household to consider something besides themselves. My girls like to buy me things though ~ chocolate to share;), movies to watch together;D, plants that we can eventually eat together ~ lots of togethersness so something must be good, right?

   Hi Ganeida,
   I hope that you had a happy Mother’s Day, too.

   Isn’t it the little things that the children do, that mean the most?
