Today is a very special day. Although one day could never convey the honor and love you deserve, I wanted to use this time to say, “Thank you Mom” and to let you know that you are special to me, not just on your birthday, but every day of the year. It’s a small way of giving something back to you, as you have given so much to me.
You have offered grace when it was not deserved, forgiveness when it was not earned, wisdom when it was not appreciated and comfort through the hurts and struggles of life.
You supported, encouraged and prayed for me when anyone else would have given up and walked away.
You made me laugh though you needed to cry, you provided strength even though you felt weak and you always remained my biggest fan no matter how many times I may have failed.
You have protected, endured and sacrificed in order to give me a better life.
Your comfort has been compared with the comfort that God provides for His children.
Isaiah 66:13 “As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you.”
I have leaned on you to find balance in my life, looked to you for the calming of my soul and found support from you in my darkest hour.
As a mother, a woman and a child of God, there is no equal or comparison…you stand alone.
Thank you for all the sleepless nights you held me, all the days you believed in me and all the times you were there.
You walk in strength, beauty and class…you are an amazing gift of God!
So on this special day and every day of the year…thank you mom, just for being you! Happy Birthday.
