This weekend is a rare one! A very special one to me, however. My birthday and Mother's day came on the same weekend! I remember going fishing with my husband, and pulling over to use a phone booth to call mom, to wish her happy Mother's day.
It's a bit bittersweet now, with all those memories and mom being gone. Sitting in church this morning I remembered many relatives and friends who were moms. What a better place to remember, in church, as I offered up prayers for each one.
In one way or another, I am the person I am because of having been touched somehow by each of them. As I celebrate my birthday and receive well-wishes from family and friends, I realize how blessed I am and have been!
Even though I have tried minimizing this date, and the futility of it, I am thankful to God for the health I have. There is a little rust in the joints that will be getting some overhauling done but I've got a good mechanic doing the work!!
So, to all those blessed to have a birthday on the same weekend as Mother's Day, happy birthday and Happy Mother's day!! I wish you many blessings!!
