Actually, an old one reborn... reborn in Christ... Not that she didn't know him before... but she knows him so much better now.
As a mother, I have seen how much closer I have come to the Lord as I have watched my children grow and have tried to show them the way... But have come to know, that most of the time, they are showing me.
The trials that we face as mothers can sometimes make us feel so weak, so unworthy of such a calling. That we will never be good enough to help God raise His children. What we fail to realize in this, is that, in this trial, He is raising us. He is our father. And he knows what is best for us.
Mother Teresa once said, "I don't think there is anyone who needs God's help and grace as much as I do. Sometimes I feel so helpless and weak. I think that is why God uses me. Because I cannot depend on my own strength, I rely on Him twenty-four hours a day. If the day had even more hours, then I would need His help and grace during those hours as well. All of us must cling to God through prayer. "
That is how I feel as a mother.
Here is an video with an amazing story to tell of a mother whose trials have brought her closer to Christ. And may God bless you all with an amazing Mother's Day... And if you're not a mother... Please don't forget to give your mom a hug, a call and some love!
