Every night, as a family, we have devotions. We share what God has shown us that day. We pray, do communion, and give our highlight. Tonight I prayed. I prayed for whomever God brought to my mind. Some are regular requests. Others just come out of the blue. Tonight my heart had a new prayer.
I cried as I prayed for all my 'friends' who are longing for children. I prayed for those who have lost little ones to heaven. I prayed for your void to be filled. Your womb to be healed. Your arms to fill God's love, replacing what you wished was there instead. I prayed for peace on a very hard day. I prayed for courage to find something amazing about the day. Joy where sorrow usually lives. I also prayed for the husbands to remember their wives. To have sensitivity. To remember how their wives are still mothers to little angels.
I wept as I prayed. My heart so heavy for so many. When I finished my family sat in silence. I am not sure if it was because they were at a loss or they were letting God fill the void. I felt His peace over me. For me, mother's day has been very hard. But this year I don't look at my sorrow and long. I look at having another day with my mom. I am taking my eyes off me and placing them on her.
I hope you find comfort this weekend. Know I am praying for all of you!

Sunny, this was a beautiful post that brought tears to my eyes. You are truly an amazing person. I am hoping that your mother's day with your mother is a blessed one.
And I for you, and your mom, Sunny.
I'm so thankful that you are feeling peace. Prayers for you and yours.
Thank you for the kind and wonderful thoughts/prayers for all of us out there in situations like yours.
I, too, think of mother's day in terms of just being SO glad to have another one with my mom. I never take that for granted. I am so lucky to have her alive. Good for you focusing on that. How can you not be glad when you have a loving mom with you?
I pray for the same things for you, sweet girl.
praying for you and your mom...
