With Mother’s Day around the corner here are my thoughts:
Here is to the unspoken women and mothers in history. The forgotten ones. The ones who don’t get mentioned in books, on holidays, in history lessons. The silent ones who lived in time periods and cultures that were amazing and ones that weren’t.
To the women and mothers who loved children, their own or others, despite the hardships of life. The women who suffered in silence through loss, grief, trials, and everyday struggles that no one but God will ever know.
Though they are forgotten, barely noticed, their influence always made a difference to someone. Their sacrifices and love are echoed through generations even if their names are not.
No woman or mother is perfect, plenty have made mistakes throughout history, but many have done their best.
To the women and mothers today who go unnoticed. Who are hurting, struggling, but doing all they can to love. You matter. You matter to the children, women, and men around you. You matter to God. And no good effort is wasted.
