No, it’s not happy Mother’s Day for everyone
To the one who reaches for the phone…only to remember mum is gone
As we forward those generic happy mother’s day messages, let us also be aware that not everyone looks forward to Mother’s Day. Take time to Tailor your messages to the specific women you wish to send messages to, they will appreciate.
To the one with the empty womb…
To the one who heard the words “no heartbeat…”
To the one who delivered too soon…
To the one who’s baby never left the ICU…
And to the one who has wept by the graveside…
He sees. He hears. And He weeps.
To the one who’s mom wasn’t present…
To the one whose mom wasn’t kind…
To the one who knows parental rejection…
He sees. He hears. He provides.
To the one who watched disease ravage her body…
Or dementia ravage her mind…
To the one who reaches for the phone…only to remember she’s gone…
He sees. He hears. He comforts.
He is a husband to the husbandless…a father to the fatherless…and a mother to the motherless.
He sees. He hears. And He draws you to Himself with an everlasting, never-ending, all-consuming love.
