For This Child I Prayed

butterflyMother’s Day is one of memories and gratitude, smiles and gifts. I recall as a child going to church and trying to understand the symbolism behind each color of corsage worn.  I remember feeling sad for those whose moms were no longer living.

Fast forward to my mid-twenties.  While I celebrated my own mother…the last place I wanted to be was in a church that was all about Mother’s Day.  A gift for the youngest mom, the oldest mom, the one with the most children…..and then  ~all mothers called to the front. I would be left in the pew feeling that everyone was staring at me while I tried to hold back the tears.  I longed for our baby in my arms.

Be mindful on this special day.  There are many who have lost their precious children, others whose hearts ache to have a child, children who never knew a true mother, and many who’s mothers are no longer on this earth. Broken relationships.  Tough love.  It is a day to cherish.  But is can also be a mournful day.

Two young women who are very special in my life….continue to pray to be blessed with a child.  My heart hurts for them.  But I find comfort in knowing that every evening, they are each held in the loving arms of their husbands.  The very young men that I dreamed of someday holding…….now hold them.

For this child I prayed….1 Samuel 1:27
