Watching many ladies with walkers entering an assisted living van recently while at a coffee shop I noted there were no men just ladies. I pondered for a while about the life these ladies had in their younger years.
Some may have been mothers either by natural birth or adoption. Perhaps others wanted children but could not have them. Others still may have been content to life alone with a bird and a dog. Everyone is different.
But as I watched these older woman navigate the steps, the walkers, the wheelchair lifts I thought of how much everyone needs to say thanks to your mom the one who raised you. Often in later years they are forgotten and shuffled off to a facility to be more comfortable. For others there is not a choice. The word honor comes to mind. Show honor to your mom if still living and respect her. Why isn’t there a Barbie Doll that is just a mom?
PRAYER: I am grateful for my mom. Often I never said thanks enough for all she did. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
