A Mother's Day Prayer

This Mother's Day help me remember the good moments
where we laughed, hugged, smiled,
moments where pain, fear, and anger were far away.
Help me remember my best parenting as well,
when I was patient, fair, encouraging, hopeful.
Forgive my failings.
Let guilt be far from my door.
Let me celebrate instead all the things done right.
The joyous time we shared,
the wrinkly smiles given
the love received.
Help me feel close to my kids - all of them -

even the ones not here.

Praying today that you have a beautiful Mother's Day...asking God to wrap you up in His arms of love and hold you close through all the feelings, emotions, joys and sorrows. Much love and prayers to a dear, sweet Mother! Happy Mother's Day!
