As I stood on my balcony this morning looking out at the Pacific Ocean, I was contemplating my life without children. I often wonder why God chose a life for me without kids. Would I have been a good mom and practiced good parenting skills? I guess I’ll never know. Early on the struggle was very real, and I would be so hurt every time someone would tell me “Happy Mother’s Day.” I learned just this weekend that I am finally at a point in my life that I can now graciously accept the “Happy Mother’s Day” from those who don’t know me or my history. My own mother, on the other hand, is wonderful. She and my grandmother helped to shape my life to be what it is today. Without my mom, I would not know the love of Jesus or be so blessed. So with that, I must say thank you, I love you, and Happy Mother’s Day, Mom!!
