IF IT WERE NOT FOR A MOTHER then none of us would be here.


It is 1:31 PM on Saturday when this article is written and in a few hours, at the stroke of midnight, it will officially be MOTHER'S DAY.


A day set aside that we as children say THANK YOU to our mother's.


My mother is in heaven and not here so there is no opportunity to face to face say, THANK YOU - HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY. For many, your mother is still alive and take some time to face to face your mother if possible, hug her and tell her thank you.


PLEASE BE MINDFUL - over this past year many mother's child has lost their life in one way or another. This will be the first Mother's Day since the loss of their child. Some months ago and some recent.


On Sunday as you see them at church, restaurants or through your walks, be mindful of the emotions they are feeling. DO NOT ASK THEM HOW THEY ARE DOING! How do you think they are doing, like a semi just ran into them and gave them a punch to the stomach. Do not tell them you are sorry, there was a funeral time which you had time to tell them you are sorry.


GIVE THEM A HUG AND TELL THEM I LOVE YOU. 


If they want to talk, they know you are sorry for the loss of their child, and know if they want to talk you will listen. That you cry for them and your heart breaks with them and for them.


But your job is to hug them, love them, and continue to pray for them each day as they walk the journey of life.


When I did the sound at church I noticed some who had loss loved ones in death. It got where I noticed they would not walk into the church until the Pastor walked to the pulpit to make the announcements and they would leave as the invitation time started. It was because, while they loved each person there and the caring anc compassion, they got tired of answering, how are you, etc....


Just hug them, tell them you love them. Allow them to engage in the conversation of their child if they so desire. 


TO ALL MOTHER'S, have a HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY.
