Your kiss…
…heals their wounds.
…makes them smile.
…builds their confidence.

Your hug…
…calms their fears.
…slows their emotions.
…shares their excitement.
…gives your support.

You are the one they want…
…when they are sick.
…when the thunder booms.
…when the lightning strikes.
…when they are scared.
…when life is not fair.
…when they get hurt, physically and emotionally.
…when life is too much.
…when they don’t have the answers.
…when their emotions don’t have words.
…when they’re so excited they just might burst.

Your love…
…shows them how they deserve to be loved.
…shows them a small glimpse of God’s love.
…builds a foundation for all other relationships.

It’s so easy to get buried in dishes, laundry, cooking, cleaning, homework, daily life.  Above all else – love them.  Consider the kind of adults you want them to be and work towards that.

Happy Mother’s Day.
