You have a new name, Mom, Mother, Mama. Something amazing happens when your name changes to "Mother." You may not even recognize it at first, but over time, you begin to understand the mission, the work God has placed in your hands. You begin to see His plan for you to help shape your children into adults who will, in turn, shape the next generation.
In most cultures around the world, the name "Mother" signifies importance, respect, and hope. Mothers are the teachers, the encouragers, the voices of love and forgiveness.
Mother Teresa said this: "Spread love everywhere you go; first of all in your own house. Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting".
What a beautiful description of motherhood this is! You are the "living expression of God's kindness" to your children, your family, and your community. You are the face, the eyes, and the smile that welcomes each one who comes into your home. Your children are rewarded every time you express yourself in this way. (taken from Applause for MOM)
So thankful for the kindness that was shared with us from our Mother. She was the true expression of God... We were blessed, loved, and disciplined when we did wrong... Taught to love God, others, and our Country... Thankful for all the prayers and encouragement she gave to each of us... She is expecting everyone of us to meet her in heaven, and I pray we do not disappoint her...A mother is a gift to her children, her husband, her family, and her friends.
