For the first time there were three moms to celebrate Mother’s Day this year.. what a blessing it was. I know I have not always been the ideal daughter but I pray daily that I may do my best. I may have also not been an ideal daughter-in-law but I do try really hard.
I am still in the process of being a good mom. Sometimes I wish I could see me through my sons eyes; how would I look? I want to be the kind of mom that touches the heart of her children everyday – in a memory, a word, a song, a thought, a teaching, a prayer. I want to be able to let go of them when the time is right and be assured that they will walk the straight and narrow, climb the hills and fulfill their dreams. Today and everyday of my life I want to sing them this song by Erin O’Donnell:
You’re a little piece of heaven
You’re a golden ray of light
Ad I wish I could protect you
From the worries of this life
But if there’s one thing I could tell you
It’s no matter what you do
Hold to Jesus, He’s holding on to you
The world will try to tell you
That might is more than right
That beauty’s on the outside
And being good’s a losing fight
But remember what I’ve told you
Because the world will make you choose
Hold to Jesus
He’s holding on to you
Hold on to Jesus
Cling to His love
Rest deep in His mercy
Whenever things get rough
Don’t lose sight of His goodness
And don’t ever doubt this truth
That when you hold on to Jesus
He’s holding on to you
Hear me dear Jesus
Rock this little one to sleep
Keep her close when she’s scared
And give them grace when they are weak
I know they’ll stumble
But I know they’ll make it through
If you hold to them just like
You said You’d do
Hold them Jesus
And they’ll hold on tight to You
