Two
of the most powerful emotions that we are capable of feeling are love and
gratitude. As Mother’s Day 2014 comes to
a close, our hearts are full of both. It’s
not your typical Sunday night.
Chances
are you took time today to celebrate your Mother, or someone who is like a
Mother to you, either in person, on the phone or by remembering her in your
thoughts. We took the time to pick out a
card or a gift, to try to reflect back our appreciation for all that she has
done. Quite an impossible task if you
really think about it. How do you put
into words the appropriate response to unconditional love?
Some
of us were also lucky enough to be on the receiving end of those gifts. It could have been a special meal, flowers or
a homemade treasure. Often things don’t
go as planned. Kids get sick. Traffic forces a change in plans. But the love behind the plans is what matters
the most. The desire of the child to
make the day special for their Mom is the same no matter what their age.
Whether
you are the receiver or the giver of a Mother’s Love there is really nothing
else like it. Before the day comes to an
end, take a minute to feel that love.
Close your eyes for just a minute and concentrate on what a Mother’s Love
feels like for you. Allow those feelings
to fill your heart. Next take a minute
to be grateful. Recall all the wonderful
things that happened today, name each of them and be grateful for the
experience. Be grateful for the love
that you were able to bring to others. Be
grateful for the love that they brought to you.
Heart-FULLy
yours,
Kacey
