Mothers Not Titled & Acknowledged by This World

[Mae Jardine]

Last year I placed this tribute to Mothers in The Common Area. This year I’ve decided to turn it into a blog since I continue to meet Mothers of Heart.  "Happy Mothers Day to All Women That Nurture"

On this Mother’s Day, please join me in acknowledging the Mothers that may be overlooked in this celebration. We have Mothers among us that have given birth to stillborn children or were not able to carry their child or children to full term resulting in death. We have women in our world that have never physically conceived in the physical womb but are overseers and protectors to the neglected children of the community as deadbeat parents sin against their children. There are numerous situations with women giving of themselves and bonded to children heart and soul but get no respected title of Mother by the world. I have never witnessed these women acknowledged from our pulpits or communities on Mother’s day but I have met such women that have felt the pain of being left out. I have watched them blink away tears and lovingly keep on giving. I have listened to them tell me of this pain and feel guilty in doing so because they saw it as a selfishness. They spend time and love giving, building up others to the point they no longer understand their own value. So Father God, you know these lovely women as individuals and we ask you to heal any wounded souls among them that feel the sting of not being acknowledged and appreciated by this world’s Labelers and Acknowledgers.

Dear Reader, If you know a woman that has been like a Mother to you, this would be the perfect day to give her the affirmation she has silently longed for but would not risk hurting you by bringing it to your attention herself.

With Love & Hugs, Mae

I am not surprised that such a thoughtful post was written by you, my dear friend. You have such a big, bright and beautiful spirit. Thank you for extending the love we offer on Mothers Day to include women who would have otherwise been excluded, but deserve the love all the same. Thank you! All love...
