Mom Hauser and Mom Kowalski are amazing Mothers
Ever since Mother's Day, I have been pondering what it is that makes a "great mother"
As I was doing this I was reminded of Jesus words in Matthew 12:48
"Who is my mother and my brothers?" Pointing to his disciples, he said, "Here are my mother and my brothers. For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother."
When I think of all of the women in my life who have ever nurtured and brought me guidance, direction, counsel, and prayer, I become overwhelmed with the number of "Mothers" I have had. Some of these women never even had children of their own. My first piano teacher, The Mothers of my childhood friends, Mentors while I was in College, The nuns I stayed with as a young adult, My older sister, The older women at Harvest Christian Fellowship, The older women at Hope, My care group leaders, and finally, The beautiful women I have come to know in Gaborone have all had a role in Mothering me in one way or another.
I guess I would like to send a tribute to all Women everywhere who are sowing into the lives of younger gals like me. Happy Mother's Day to you too!
