I was scrolling through Facebook yesterday and noticing so many of us are excited about Mother’s Day. For me, I was privileged to receive both breakfast and lunch prepared by my man and children . . . with minimal help from me! So this was a treat indeed – since cooking is my main chore around here.
And I am blessed with not only a wonderful mother and mother-in-law, but grandmothers on both sides as well. These ladies are truly a blessing in my life!
But I got to thinking. How many men, women, and children have a hard time on Mother’s Day? For those of us with a great relationship with our mothers, we have no problem celebrating this day. But what about those who have been hurt directly by the one they were supposed to trust first in this life? What about the people who have said good-bye to their mothers, or perhaps even to a daughter – someone who could have become a mother? What if a woman said goodbye to a baby and her arms sit empty on Mother’s Day?
This day can be hard for some people. It can bring up both old and new hurts, disappointments, and losses. It might not feel all nice and rosy for some like it does for others.
My heart hurts for these people. I cannot take away the pain, but I can tell you that you are loved and cared for! You have been prayed for that God would bring peace, comfort, and healing.
But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we are healed.
Isaiah 53:5
I believe in the Healer of our bodies, minds, and spirits.
I know He is able because His Word proclaims it to be true!
For those of you who have lost babies, here is my Mother’s Day gift to you: Silent Grief will be free on Kindle until Friday {link here}. May God hold you close! ~ Kendra

This blessed my heart, not because it’s hard because I’ve lost babies, but have known loss in some other forms that you mentioned. I truly enjoy seeing mother’s celebrated and appreciate my husband, children and friends celebration of my own motherhood. That eases the sting. Knowing the Healer is the best of all !
Kendra says
I am sorry for those losses, but yes, personally knowing the Healer is best! He is the One we can always count on. God bless!
