A Mother"s Day Blessing

[DeaconSteve]

A mother is a special person –
one whose love is always there,
one who sacrifices so very much –
just because she really cares.

A mother’s love is far extended –
ever present as we grow,
giving of herself unconditionally –
by what she does, and how it shows.

Always putting herself before others –
to meet her family’s every need,
never complaining of the burden,
of being the strength in each family.

Mom! this day that we celebrate –
in honor of your unselfish ways,
a tribute for all you’ve given –
we call it Mother’s Day!

And so a blessing is extended –
for, through God’s love you have been,
the greatest mom in all the world –
and most of all, a best friend.

May God bless you with His grace –
as you celebrate in a special way,
this day that is so special,
wishing you a happy Mother’s Day!


Love you Mom!

[Texasgrace]

What a beautiful expression of a mother's love and sacrifice,my friend.Steve you are such a true talent and I want to thank you for always sharing your heart with us.

[DeaconSteve]

Thank all of you for your kind words. This is a tribute to all mothers, some of whom are yourselves, not you Jeff. You know first hand what a mother goes through, and how much of yourselves you give to your family. My mom is in heaven this year for Mother's Day, but nonetheless, I still wish her a Happy Mother's Day. God bless you all. All my love and prayers.
