Re-framing Mothers Day

5/12/2019

0 Comments

 
Far too often I hear mothers complain, feeling sad or frustrated that their people don't care or appreciate the value of the hard work they invest in caring for them. 

From her entry for May 8th in Joan Borysenko's treasured book Pocketful of Miracles:
"The fifteenth-century Christian mystic Julian of Norwich is known for her deep appreciation of God as mother. In the text of her divine visions, called Showings, she said 'This fair and lovely word 'mother' is so sweet and so kind in itself that it cannot truly be said of anyone or to anyone except of Him and to Him who is the true Mother of life and of all things. To the property of motherhood being nature, love, wisdom and knowledge and this is God.' "

We are on holy ground, doing holy work and it is an honor, yes?

I hope we can be in our days with gratitude for the gift of motherhood, embracing the value of our work...without resent or frustration that others may not see the enormity of what we carry. 

Treat yourself kindly today (and everyday); be reminded the "​property of motherhood being nature, love, wisdom and knowledge and this is God". May you know more and more the blessings you're gifted.
