But I'm not a Mother?

May 11, 2014 "Mother's Day"...  

Here we are with our boys.  We married in 1972; love each other more today that ever before!

Thinking about Mother's Day, each year I also think of the ladies that want so badly to be a Mother and those that are mothers but have lost either their babies through miscarriage, abortion, or death by accident even after they've grown up. We all know that we, as parents, are 'suppose' to die first but that does not always happen and many suffer on this day due to sadness of such a huge loss. My prayers go up for each of you on these kind of days that can be hurtful. I was taken back a bit when I read that our LORD Jesus had no descendants - so I can see that Jesus really does understand EVERYTHING about us... whether we've never had children OR had them and lost them to death...look at this: "No one cared that he died without descendants, that his life was cut short in midstream." Here is the reading: Isaiah 53:7-9 (NLT) ....8 Unjustly condemned, he was led away. No one cared that he died without descendants, that his life was cut short in midstream.  But he was struck down
for the rebellion of my people  9 He had done no wron
and had never deceived anyone."
     When you read Isaiah 53 it is talking about Christ....I love to read the ending part of 52 and the entire chapter of 53 when we are taking the Lord's Supper together...What a Savior we have what a King we serve! I pray that all of our women, young and old, mothers and those that are not 'mothers' will know that Christ Jesus understands your feelings and is holding you in the palm of His hand...where we all find peace in times that are difficult. love you all!
