“My life has taught me three things that changed my mind about Mother’s Day:

My skills are never wasted. My heart—not my present circumstances—determines my blessings. I am a mother because I behave as a mother. To all the women who are uncomfortable on Mother’s Day, I would say: ‘Don’t let sadness obscure the view. Your covenants have already paved your path. Keep going. You are doing better than you know.’ What might the Lord say to us? I think He would throw His arms around us and let us know we are worthy enough to keep going and our sacrifices have been acceptable before Him. He would tell us He is reserving for us all that is in our hearts, unspoken things that only He could know. He would say that He sees us and all we do behind the scenes, that we are not invisible to Him.” – Sharon Eubank
