Praise and prayers for all who mother.
I've heard it said that there is no way one can be a perfect mom, but there are a million ways to be a good mom.
My mom was magnificent, not perfect, but good in thousands of ways and the perfect mom for me.
For all the times and ways our moms seemed close to perfection and all the times they fell short, let's love, honor, and celebrate them. And say, thank you.
Praise and prayers for all who have guided children into adulthood, for all who are just beginning this vital vocation, for all in every stage and way of nurturing others toward vibrant living.
Whether or not we are raising a child, let's recognize the ways we, and others, give mothering care to the world, its people, and all living things.
Just as there are a million ways to be a good mother, there are a million ways to mother.
Happy Mother's Day!
With love,
Charlene
