Are You My Mother? is one of my favorite childhood books by P.D. Eastman. It tells a very simple story with a powerful message. It takes you on a journey to help baby bird find his mother. Please read this book if you haven't had a chance or feel free to watch the video below.
Mothers Day is always a tough time for me. This year I decided that it was going to be different. That I was going to have joy in my heart full of anticipation. The Lord brought this story to my mind several times. I couldn't help but wonder what it meant. Is there a little baby out there asking for me? Is my birth mother preparing her heart and mind for this journey? The only thing I know is that the Lord is giving me peace and patience during this wait.
Mothers Day was different for me this year and I know it is because many of you were praying and sending words of encouragement. I didn't make it to church, but I was with the Lord all day. I woke up early at 3:30 and was part of a 24-hour day of prayer for one of my friends who is also adopting. I began praying for her and her husband and their baby and their birth mother. I know as I was praying for her, she was praying for me. Thank you, I could feel those prayers. Also I was so encouraged by many sharing their stories of Mothers Day and how they were honored by their families. Thank you Mothers around the world for all you do. Thank you Donna Cathey and Maria Valdez for what you mean to Jesse and I and thank you for loving us no matter what.
Te Queremos!!
Psalm 139:13-14
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
Lord,
Thank you for our precious Mothers and their beautiful feet. Thank you for the path that they have walked in service and devotion to You. Thank you for the example they have given us all to follow. Bless them and strengthen them with Your might.
Amen
