Time is the Best Gift to Give.

 

The best gifts you can give your mum, don't cost anything.  

They are probably the gifts she wants the most. 

• Spend time with her. Just a visit. 
• Invite her to lunch or dinner. She loves your cooking.
• Tell her Thank You. Show that you appreciate her sacrifices.
• A simple phone call. Your voice means so much more than a text.
• A meet up at the park. Playing with her grandchildren is time she enjoys.
• Sharing school pictures of the grandchildren.
• Homemade cards from the little ones. Handmade means so much to her. 
• Remind her of your gratitude, that she was always there for you. Good, bad and everything in between.
• Apologize for the mistakes you have made. Blaming her for you're bad choices.

There are so many little things you can do, that we often overlook daily. Your mom was there for you. 9 months of letting her body hurt, be torn down and the pain of your birth. She sacrificed sleep, the money to spend on herself, and many a hot meal.  Giving up so much of her time to each one of her children.

 She gave up a career to take 'simple jobs' just so she could be there for you after school. Laundry was a mountain always erupting, yet you had clean clothes every day of the week.  Dinner was hot and fresh on the table. The house kept warm and safe for you to sleep. 

 Things might have happened, and life turned upside down, but she never gave up, never walked away and never left you behind.  Every time you ran away the door opened upon your return, no matter how much pain you caused in leaving. 

 Some moms fought the good fight in court to keep you safe. Whether she won or lost, she never gave up on you. Many nights she cried in pain, her heart broken. Regretting the choice, she made of who should be your father.  Many moms became mom and dad, doing all she could to fill the void. 

So many moms gave up so much of themselves for their children. Only to have their children 'too busy' to give back any appreciation in return.

 Give your mom the time she deserves. Appreciate her sacrifices. Enjoy her love while you still can. She won't be here forever. Once she's gone, she won't be back. 

Love her while you still can. 

Blessed by God
