God, our Supreme Mother, always sees each child as #1

This Mother’s Day, make sure ‘those who mother you’ know how much you love and appreciate them for being the ‘glue’ that holds it all together.  Our willingness to put our thoughts of appreciation into words and actions is all that is necessary.  It takes so little to show we care, yet, it means so much. Appreciation can make a day, even change a life.  “Appreciation is a wonderful thing. It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.” -Voltaire 

Mothers have the power to sustain.  They have a full stock of patience. They respond to others with a warm heart and to situations with a cool head.  A wise mother waits patiently, speaks positively, releases mistakes of others easily, sees benefit in everything . A good mother knows how to gently prompt her child into doing what she wants.  She doesn’t reprimand by saying, ‘You are a bad child!’.  She merely explains the action performed was not right and gives positive suggestions of how to correct it. In the same way, "Be a good mother to your mind.  Teach it good positive thoughts so when you tell it lovingly to 'sit quietly' it will!" 

A mother’s love makes everything it touches special and sacred, filling lives with joy. We’re most alive, happy, secure and able to share when we are loved and our hearts filled with love. With motherly love children feel strong and brave.   “I love you Mom because of who I am when I am with you.” To remain full mother yourself with loving thoughts: The more love I express the more love I receive in return. I feel in my heart my spiritual Father/Mother knows and continues to fill me with love. 

A mother’s love reflects God's unconditional love, goodness and wisdom. God’s love is limitless, without boundaries, motives and fixed demands; love that gives without asking for anything in return; love that does not see weakness and instead sees the qualities of others, love that is soft and strong with no hidden fears and insecurities.  God, our Supreme Mother, always sees each child as #1.   

Be a good mother to your mind, your family and friends, to nature and the world!  Motherhood is near to divinity, as it is the highest holiest service to be assumed by mankind and the animal kingdom.  The good we do, may often be forgotten tomorrow.  ‘Do good’ anyway. You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; it was never between you and others anyway! When we put gender aside, we are all mothers in spirit, and everyday becomes a Happy Mothers’ Day.
