Celebrate Time for Mom
You know what would be really cool?
If we could have either Friday or Monday as a holiday to make it a 3-day weekend for mom!
Sunday May 10th is Mother’s Day in the U.S. and it’s such a wonderful time to pay homage to our mothers. Wouldn’t it be so cool to have it also be a 3-day weekend instead of just one day?
While growing up, I’m sure I didn’t show as much appreciation as I could to my mother. There’s always so much more I could have done.
But now that I’m older and have a family of my own, I’ve come to realize more deeply how much a mother truly cares for her children. And I’m not just talking about the physical or outward care they provide. But rather, the emotional work they perform.
Mothers are so deeply invested in their children emotionally. And even though I’m in this together with my sweet wife, I still realize that she has a different gear that she’s shifted into that I don’t seem to have.
Of course, I care about my children on many levels. But there’s something special about my wife, our mothers, and women all over the world. It’s a part of their god-given nature. They are built to inherently love unconditionally.
And I love them for it.
So celebrating our mothers on only one day of the year doesn’t seem enough. Of course it’s great that we do have a day dedicated to mothers. But let’s do more than that. Let’s build it into a habit into our lives to share appreciation of our mothers every day of the year!
