A NOTE OF THANKS TO MOTHERS AND TO THOSE THAT CHOOSE TO MOTHER

Sharing Words: Concerns2Joys blog by Rev. Michelle Wiltshire-Clement

To all the mothers that raised children that they gave birth to, chose through adoption, or accepted into their caring circles,

we thank you!

We thank you for wiping our noses and disinfecting our scrapped knees, but now for spending every hour and minute with us inside. You offer us heartfelt conversations. You listen and we bake. You teach and we learn.

This Mother’s Day is not about going someplace like church and the restaurant afterwards, but by remaining safe inside someplace. 

Together, we have had the opportunity to experience many firsts! We see the first smile, hear the first word, witness the first step. We nurture. We send you out into the virtual world, our precious ones, to school and help to educate you at home. We play games with you, paint with you, eat with you, and engage you in creative ways as you keep maturing in our lives. You are our blessing. We cradle you in our hearts through the firsts that have past and the firsts that will soon come. We love you! We care! May you who share of yourselves and nurture, feel cared for this day pampered by those expressing their love in their uniques ways!

We thank every Essential Worker!

We thank you, mothers-to-be, new mothers, and mothers that have had the patience!
