Thoughts on Mother's Day

Rather than look at Mother's Day and think of all the things that need to be done or what I might have done differently it is much better to look at it and realize how blessed I am to be a mother and how blessed I am because of my children. Where would I be if I hadn't become a mother when I did? How empty my life would be if I didn't have the love of and relationships with my children? What more do I have to show for my life that is of any greater value than my children? Nothing, no accomplishment, no award, no thanks, can compare to the worth in the blessing of being able to raise and influence the lives of people you love!
