A Month in the Life

I am not a mother, but sometimes I feel like one. Being a teacher and a youth leader often requires motherly aspects, that I'm not too practiced in. Thankfully I've had the influence of a great mother to help me through the hard times.

What's better is that I've not only had one mother, but numerous motherly influences in my life that have helped shape and mold me throughout the years. I know that I would not be who I am today without these ladies in my life. Yet, my life is not great enough to show how wonderful they are.

Yesterday I went to my great aunt's birthday reception. We were celebrating her 90th birthday. What an awesome woman she is! She isn't on any medication, lives by herself, and gets around on her own without the assistance of a walker or cane. I was impressed with her abilities at such an old age. I thought about all the lives she touched, all the people she's known and loved over her 90 years. People had come to celebrate this woman's live, her achievements, and they all had been changed by her in some way.

I hope that I can be a lady like my aunt. I hope I can be a lady like my mom. Even though they make mistakes, they persevere. They love their families unconditionally. They have trained their children in God's paths. Blessed is the Woman who fears the Lord!



Happy Mother's Day to all the Mothers and future mothers!
