What makes a mother

Good morning ladies, and welcome to my blog.  I hope that you all enjoy the post today...

Verse.....  "Ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.  For everyone who asks receives and he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks the door will be opened."  Matthew 7:7 NIV

Thought for today....  I got up early one morning and rushed right into the day, I had so much to accomplish that I  didnt have time to pray.  Problems just tumbled about me, and heavier came each task;  "Why doesnt God help me?"  I wondered.  He answered "You didnt ask"  I wanted to see joy and beauty but the day toiled on gray and bleak; I wondered why God didnt show me.  He said "But you didnt seek"  I tried to come into God's presence; I used all my keys at the lock.  God gently and lovingly chided.  "My child, you didnt knock."  I woke up early this morning and paused before entering the day; I had to much to accomplish that I had to take time to pray.  Author unknown.

Poem....

What Makes A Mother


I thought of you and closed my eyes

And prayed to God today

I asked, "What makes a Mother?"

And I know I heard him say

A Mother has a baby

This we know is true

But, God, can you be a mother

When your baby's not with you?

Yes, you can he replied

With confidence in his voice

I give many women babies

When they leave it is not their choice

Some I send for a lifetime

And others for the day

And some I send to feel your womb

But there's no need to stay.



I just don't understand this God

I want my baby here



He took a breath

and cleared his throat

And then I saw a tear

I wish I could show you

What your child is doing Here



If you could see your child smile

With other children and say

"We go to earth to learn our lessons

of love and life and fear,

but My mommy loved me so much

I got to come straight here!"

I feel so lucky to have a Mom who had so much love for me

I learned my lessons very quickly

My Mommy set me free.

I miss my Mommy oh so much

But I visit her each day

When she goes to sleep

On her pillow is where I lay

I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek

And whisper in her ear

"Mommy, Please don't be sad today

I'm your baby and I am here"



So you see my dear sweet one

Your children are okay

Your babies are here in My home

And this is where they'll stay

They'll wait for you with Me

Until your lessons there are through

And on the day that you come home

they'll be at the gates waiting for you



So now you see

What makes a Mother

It's the feeling in your heart

It's the love you had so much of

Right from the very start
