The Paradox

As I close my eyes and drift away to a land where there is love, health, peace and blessings. I wanted to take the time to think and reflect.

    It is that time of the year once again where mothers are celebrated on May 12th 2019 this year. Whilst there is much debate or conversation for the celebration, where many would say Mother's Day is everyday, or say I don't celebrate Mother's Day. Everyone is entitled to their opinion according to belief or views held. But it is important to be respectful to those around you, surrounding you, who do observe the celebration of Mother's Day. In fact the idea to be respectful can transfer to any celebration as well. You don't have to celebrate a celebration to be respectful of special days or traditions. It is simply a matter of expanding the heart to one another, that also generates character development, as to how humans interact with one another.

     I think for me as a mother, who gave birth as a young mother. I would have to say that: gratitude does not have to be grande, it could be a simple hug, a kind words. Whilst children might not be aware, but the sacrificial elements truly do go unnoticed, that create feelings of un-appreciation. I have always cushioned these thoughts with the idea of God as the eternal appreciator, but when we think in Godly terms, we can also say God wants to see how we will express this love. Because when all is said and done, even as parents we are not the keepers of children. We are the bearer's of children. Of course this view is also dependant upon mindset, cultural values and customs. 

   We ourselves desire that children follow their hearts, grow and blossom through the paths that they seek and desire. Parenting is always a process of holding on and letting go. Not in a literal sense, but in a loving sense. The simple pokes and prods, allowing children to fly in their God given directions. 

My thoughts to share with love & kindness! :)
