I realized through this one action how much God has given me in the wonderful women I call mom.
I was angered when someone said something very hurtful to my mother. How could someone so close to you say such hurtful things? Her reaction, her feelings just welled up in her eyes and I couldn't help but feel angry and want to just erase what was said and take away her pain.
She with all her wisdom handled it with much more grace than I know than I ever could've.
I began to reflect and remember that God has given her a second chance at life and with it she is truly a changed person and that I should learn from her and love and cherish every minute I have with her even when she can't remember that I already told her something 3 times or she insists that she's right( well most of the time she is) because it doesn't matter. What matters is that I have been given a second chance at a beautiful relationship with her and I want her to know that it doesn't matter what anybody else says about her. She is perfect in God's eyes and in mine.
I love you mom.
ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS....
ReplyDeleteHow is it that out of the mouths of babes never seems to age? No matter what the age of our children they will always be our babes. Funny how we to want to mend their boo-boos but they end up doing just that for us with out even knowing it.
Our actions are on display and we seem to be teaching others with out knowing it. Our lives are always being tested, thank God I passed this one LOL.
If I've learned anything from all my 53 years it's to love unconditionally because that's how God loves ME.
When others hurt us we can choose to retaliate or we can choose to forgive and love them anyway, I choose the latter. The hurtful words don't matter because I know they aren't true...the truth is what God says about me. I am a new creature in Christ :-)!
I'm so grateful for the beautiful daughter that I was given. God knew that she would be a comfort to me in more ways than I could ever mention. My heart is so full and I have you Shaw to thank for that. I'll try to do better about remembering, guess I better stock up on that Ginko LOL.
I Love You Too.
