Welcome my friend, come on in & join me in a cuppa, today I have a special spread for us to remember our Mums.

I have baked some goodies for us & have a selection of teas, coffee & Hot Chocolate for you to choose from laid upon my dining room table overlooking our colourful Autumn garden.

Goodies like Pikelets with Jam & cream, mini Apple & Blueberry muffins, Macaroons, tiny Bacon & Cheese tarts to munch upon.

I’ve chosen a mug of Vanilla Chai Latté & a savoury tart first. What have you chosen?

Remembering

“She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can rejoice in the days to come. Her children arise and call her blessed…” Proverbs 31:25, 28 KJV

Mother’s Day is always a day of mixed emotions for many. Some enjoy being able to be spoilt & spend time with their children whether adults or younger.

While for others it’s a day of sadness for those who have lost children to death or estrangement & then others whose greatest desire was Motherhood but it never eventuated.

Then there are our own Mothers to honour or maybe now only to remember.

For me personally Mother’s day is always a day of mixed emotions, joy in being able to spend time with my daughters whether in person or through technology (two live interstate). But in the wee hours of each Mother’s Day, just on dawn, there’s always a time of reflection of what might have been with my third born daughter Candy & my only son Benjamin who both passed away many years ago at birth.

Then there’s the memory of my own mother who is now enjoying Eternity with her Saviour. Where I’m sure the Lord has a heavenly tea party going on within the magnificent gardens of Heaven for those who have gone before us in Christ Jesus.

Whatever your feelings are on the day, may you find encouragement in the following;

Mothering…

The Joy & Pain of Motherhood

A Mama’s Prayer…

And may you be comforted in knowing that God’s love & comfort is available to you today.

Until next time,

Jennifer
