Mothers Day

     I have very mixed emotions when it comes to this Holiday. First off let me start by saying how truly blessed I am to have the amazing mother that I do have. She is a wonderful example to me. Her love for her family radiates in all that she does, and her love for her Savior and the gospel is a great testament to me. She has always been there for me no matter what the circumstance is, especially this last month. She was always been someone I can count on and one of my best friends. So I am grateful that we celebrate Mother's Day so that I can show her just how much she means to me. 
     But at the same time Mother's Day is a very hard day for me. I, like so many others long to become a mom. And it is so hard when I haven't been blessed with this opportunity to really fully enjoy Mother's Day. Now don't get me wrong am truly happy for those who are mothers what a wonderful blessing you have been given, but I long to have that, I long to have little ones who make me silly things for Mother's Day or bring me a bouquet of weeds.. I just want to be someone's mom, so Mother's Day tugs at my heart, bring tears to my eyes. It's a day that sometime I wish didn't have to happen because I am left feeling empty and longing to fill that emptiness with little hands and feet. I had a dear friend text me this morning and she will probably never know how much I needed her text. But it meant so much to me, it read, " Happy Mothers Day to a girl I know that as soon as your children In heaven get here to earth, you will be the most amazing mother to them!! I hope you enjoy this day, I am sure it always feels a little awkward when all the ladies at church around you are basking in Mother's Day and your heart is missing a little something from above. I sure love you!! Hugs to you!!"   This text meant so much to me this morning cause it is hard to go to church on Mother's Day when your not a mother. And you so desperately want to be a mom.. 
      I hope that one day I will be blessed with the opportunity to become a mother and to love and nurture a child of God!! What an amazing opportunity that will be

  1. You do have a very amazing mother! She is a wonderful lady!...I am pretty sure your friend had a "tender mercy" because she woke up yesterday morning feeling that similar ache in her heart, even though she is a mother, she is not the mother to the # of children she thought she would have by now. But her heart turned to gratitude after thinking of all those ladies that only ache to be mothers and her heart was humbled and then felt completely grateful and full of love when putting that perspective! THANK YOU SO MUCH for being a true example to me friend!!! I sure love you, and pray that you will someday soon be that mother you ache to be!
