There are always a lot of people who need your prayer, today is not an exception.  Please take the time and pray for Tricia, Shamu, Laurie, Jim and work out from there.

Today was Mothers Day in the United States of America, not in other countries, I know having found out the hard way.

On this Mother’s Day, it is very easy for us to look back at our mother’s life and think of all the things we like about our mother.  We like, it is all about our mother and what she did for us.  The pivotal thought seems to be us.  It is not about us, our / us is merely an adjective to describe a particular mother.  For motherhood is about self-sacrifice.  Putting the child’s welfare above that of the mother.

The love of the mother for her children comes with a price; yet the price paid is not without return.   The last words of almost all soldiers who die in battle are either “Mom” or “Jesus.”  There is a lesson all in of itself.

What did your mom choose?  An extra child or an extra home or trailer?  Your schooling, or her vacation without you?  Dental work for you or a new car for her?  Shoes for you or a fancy dress for her?

Please take the time today to pray a prayer of thanksgiving for each of our mothers, both with us today and those who have gone before and have brought us to this point in our lives.  Take a minute to reflect if your life lives up to theirs.  If it does, wonderful, try to improve; if it does not, try to improve.  Being a mother is the most important job in the world.  Action that thought.

The week coming up has EPIC potential.  Are you having a hard time visualizing the good in your soul?  Open your heart to that Third God Guy, the Holy Ghost.  He can help you see the good in the world, He can illuminate your surroundings so that hard to find narrow uphill path to the real world is bright, brilliant, wide and smooth.  Take His Help.

Have superb week!

Godspeed,
