Oh Rose, that is so sad. I think Mother's day is the most heart wrenching day for a lot of people. That's why I don't like sermons about Moms on Mother's day. My Mother died when I was 8 years old. I have missed that special mother daughter bond for most of my life. Sometimes I feel we put Mother's up on pedestals, which they cannot possibly live up to. Over the years I've come to realise that Jesus is the only one that can fill that place in my heart where I've missed out and yearn for that special love.
Mother's Dad alos makes me feel unworthy, becasue I as a Mom have made so many mistakes, that sometimes beat me down with guilt. Those times I really have to rely on the Lord's word, that when He died for me and my sins , it was all taken care of, past present and future. Jesus paid it all. All to Him I owe. What an awesome God! How can we not praise Him ?
My daughter always remembered me on the special days and she isn't here to do it anymore. I'm hoping our son will come over, but I am not holding my breath. He has his own issues in his marriage and often will not come over. I'm getting to the point where I have to accept that and not take it personally. I have to wait on the Lord and trust Him to work in my son's life in His time.
Hope your day is good.
Ruth
