Day 3157: Mother’s Day 2019

“The love of a mother is the veil of a softer light between the heart and the heavenly Father.” – Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Spend time with my people

Mother’s Day is always a reminder that God’s favour rests on my siblings and I, I have never felt more loved than when I’m with my mother a love that’s consuming, a love that neither slumbers nor sleeps, a love never forsaking…I have often thought this must be how God loves me I have no doubt that if a car was speeding towards the three of us our mother would step in front of it without a second thought. Happy Mother’s Day to my mom and all the mother’s of the world thank you will never be enough but those are the only two words that come to mind.
