Mother’s Day 2018


Give what wants not you want

Tomorrow we celebrate Mother Day.We celebrate this day in a variety of ways make our mother happy to know we care care for her.We give them money and gifts.We take them out for meals and spend some time with them.

These are undoubtedly noble gestures that we should undertake to show our love and gratitude to the woman who has sacrificed so much for us that no body else can or will be able to match.A mother is one who can stand in for anyone but none can ever take her place in our lives.

Often we give them what we think they like not what they really want.My 87year old mother says she doesn’t want money,food or presents.All she wants is to see me healthy and happy with my wife and children.All she wants is that I visit her often and spend some time talking about the past when we were young under her care.She might have been poor then but rich in love which she shared totally and unconditionally with us.

This Mother’s Day let us give our mother what she really wants,not what we think she wants.Let us visit her not just today but often as we can with our spouse and children.Let us show to her we are happy and what come may we will always have a permanent place for her in our hearts.

Let us pray for her wellbeing,good health and happiness.If we have hurt our mother in anyway,this is the time to seek forgiveness.If we doing something hurts her,this is the time to reflect and change.Let us treasure her now and not after she is gone.

“The best gift you can give your mom is to stop doing what hurts her most”

Happy Mother’s Day
