Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day can be a very bitter sweet day for those of us who are struggling with infertility, whether we have primary or secondary infertility, it can be a day that represents what we don’t have. It is also a day that where we can honor and show love for our own mothers.

I found this wonderful quote by Sister Sheri Dew:

“While we tend to equate motherhood solely with maternity in the Lord’s language, the word Mother has layers of meaning. Of all the words they could have chosen to define, her role and her essence, both God the Father and Adam Called Eve The Mother of all Living and they did so before she ever bore a child. Like Eve, our motherhood began before we were born. Motherhood is more than bearing children, though it is certainly that. It is the essence of who we are as women.”

I agree with Sister Dew on the fact that as women, motherhood is an innate quality. I think for today, instead of looking at the fact that we are not mothering a child, we should look for the mothering qualities that we have and use on a daily basis.

So Happy Mother’s day to all everyone who is a female!
