Mom, you're a wonderful mother,
So gentle, yet so strong.
The many ways you show you care
You give guidance when I ask;
It seems you can do most anything;
You're the master of every task.
You're my cushion when I fall.
You help in times of trouble;
You have my total respect.
If I had my choice of mothers,
You'd be the one I'd select!
A Prayer for Mothers:
Dear Lord,
today we pray for mothers--
our own mothers, and mothers everywhere,
who have made such a major contribution
to the good qualities we have,
sometimes through genetics,
more often through great effort and patient instruction,
and who have done their best
to gently polish away our rough edges.
to gently polish away our rough edges.
for the endless hours of time they spent
and the boundless energy they invested in us.
Bless our mothers for their sacrifices on our behalf
and the boundless energy they invested in us.
Bless our mothers for their sacrifices on our behalf
as they often gave up or deferred their own dreams
for being the person we know we can turn to
where we could feel safe, where we felt we belonged.
Most of all, Lord,
bless our mothers for their unconditional love,
for loving us no matter what,
and for frequently showing love
in ways that make us feel valued and cherished.
Strengthen them, soothe them,
wrap them in Your infinite love
and shower them with blessings
too numerous to count, too magnificent to describe.
and we wish that You would give them back
many times the good they gave to us.
In Jesus' name we pray; Amen.
I love you, Mama! Happy Mother's Day!!

I had to wait 30 mins after I read this to get myself together so I could see to type. You are so amazing and so full of love. Being a Mom is a hard job but the best job I have ever had. God truly blessed you with such a loving Mom. I pray that my kids feel the same way about me when they are grown.
