Mother's Day

It's funny how we take things for granted until something changes and what we took for granted has been changed forever. I never really found mother's day to be a big, and really I still don't. Now don't get me wrong, its good to take a day out of our busy years to honor our Mother's and show them how much we really appreciate them. However, let's take a moment to think about it. Rather than just spending one day to set aside and honor our Mothers by putting them on a pedastol for the day, shouldn't we be daily showing them how much we love, respect, value and honor them? I think that so many times we take our Mother's for granted that we fail to show them how much we truly appreciate them on a regular basis. I think this needs to change. Instead of waiting for another Mother's day to roll around, why not continually show them and tell them how you feel about them, how grateful you are to have them for you Mom. I think this would truly make a difference. Mother's day comes and goes, but when you make mothers day a daily occurance it can truly make the difference. You never know if you will have another Mother's day with you Mom. She could be gone tomorrow, so take advantage of it and share how much you love and appreciate her today and as often as you can.
Even though I can no longer tell my Mom how much I loved her and how much I truly appreciated her and was grateful to have such a wonderful and supportive mom, I can encourage others not to take advantage of the time God is allowing them to have with their mothers. I may not have any time left to spend with her, but I still have the memories.
