Mothers of Others

Ladies, Mother's Day celebrations are meant to be happy times, full of fond memories, and memory making times. At least here in America, that is what we expect for Mothers Day and Fathers Day. While many of you are truly Mothers and have blood children of your own, there are many as well that have never been in your shoes. I happen to be one of them. I want to especially honor these women today, here at Higher Grounds.

Mothers of Others

Women - young and old

Women - kind and gentle

Women - that have much to give

Women - filled with love to the brim

Children - around the corner

Children - down the street

Children - hungry to be loved

Children - having needs that are not being met

Sisters, Girlfriends, Ladies, MOTHERS OF OTHERS

Your eyes, ears and heart KNOW the longing

Thank YOU for pouring yourselves out onto these children

You sacrifice and give and love deeply

I thank YOU for being so willing to MOTHER OTHERS!

Father, You are so Holy, perfect and totally incredible. I thank You for the women in my life that allow me to pour myself out onto their children. Realizing that You have given me a purpose and a reason and that there is no jealousy found in these Moms as they graciously share their quiver of children. Lord, I pray that other women that come here in the next day or two sense that You see their hearts and their longing to be a Mom. May they be blessed to realize that other children love them and hunger for their nurturing. I thank You for the Other Mothers that have been linked in my own life. I thank You Father for the children that receive my love for them. Father, I desire to love like You. Pour Your love even more into me and onto me to splash onto others. Lord, thank You. Amen.

1. Happy Mother's Day to every single one of YOU!!!
