Love One Another

Mommy, mommy, wake up... It's Valentine's Day and I love you! My 6 year old son woke me up with those words this morning and let me just say, I feel blessed! Both of my children say I love you, sometimes 20-30 times a day and it makes my heart smile each and every time! I love my boys immeasurably and I can't imagine my life without the joys of motherhood. Even with the terrible icky parts, it's an awesome job and the pay is priceless! I'm thinking about all of my kiddos today, Tamara, Moises and Cynthia, we miss them dearly. I can only pray that God blesses each of them with the love they deserve. I think about the children of this world that are without parents or family today and it breaks my heart. I cry for the orphans and widows. I am reminded of people, like my mother and grandmother's that gave me unconditional support and love through out my life, I miss them so much. When I envision a world through the eyes of God I imagine people like Mother Theresa, Princess Diana, Papa Joe loving the poor and it gives me hope. This day is more than about loving just your spouse and children. It's about loving perhaps the unloved, the unlovable. I encourage you to do that, show an act of kindness, give the gift of a smile or hug. You may not gain material value but I guarantee your heart will smile and so will God!
