These words come to mind when I think of the word Mother:
M is MUNIFICENT
O is OPPORTUNITY
T is TRUST
H is HALCYON
E is for ENDEARING
R is for RESILIENCE
A Mother is generous with her time because she is a child’s biggest motivator. After all, GOD entrusted you with the opportunity of a lifetime to mold one of his creations. Therefore, a child trusts a mother to do the right thing; sometimes, that involves placing a child’s needs above personal needs. Every child needs halcyon days of youth. Remember, a motherhood club is an endearing place that some never get to embrace, so wear that crown honorably. If you cannot be a mother for whatever reason, help carry the torch of one who has fallen because it takes a Village and sometimes a Vineyard to raise responsible kids in this world. Lastly, a mother needs to bounce back from tough times. Remember that a young, impressionable mind is watching your every step. Ensure you give that child the right tools to bounce back from anything life throws at their feet.
Ask any mother; motherhood is not for the weak, so be thrilled that you are honored today by those you paved the way for yesterday.
Don’t forget to remember all our Queens who have transitioned to the next realm. We love, honor, and, most of all, miss their essence and presence. Thank you, our beloved ancestor Queens, for paving our stones.
Happy Mother’s Day, Queens!
