A Mother’s Thoughts on Easter Sunday

Each year, during Lent, I can’t help but be humbled—humbled many times over in the thought that no matter how good a mother I try to be, no matter how much sacrifices I make, no matter how much time and love I give my kids, what I do as a mother is still not enough. There is so much to improve on, to change, to learn and to perfect. And there is one mother who has given so much, a mother who has suffered so much, a mother who has loved so much, a mother so perfect—Mama Mary. Her pains, seeing how much her son has suffered through His passion to His death are recalled during Lent. No one can match the motherly love she has in her heart.
Easter Sunday—the Resurrection of Christ, the day celebrated with greatest joy, especially by His mother, for me spells glorious hope. This glorious hope empowers me to face life with a positive confidence in the mega responsibility of raising 7 kids. Regardless of our children’s ages, we, parents, are the most important living figures in their lives—and we have the responsibility to teach them and guide them as they grow to be independent individual children of God.
So this Easter Sunday, let me renew my commitment, as a mother, to be true to my responsibility in co-raising my 7 kids—as children who love God, love and respect others and carry those values into adulthood. I say “co-raising”, since part of the responsibility belongs to their father.
HAPPY EASTER TO ALL!

Oh Wind(Poems from the Heart by D. Racoma)
the wind I can’t see but I can feel it it is there, I am sure caressing my face almost a kiss enveloping my whole being a warm embrace making me feel alive glow, delight, smile a pleasant rendezvouz
it blows intensely at times and I am swept away bringing me to heights never imagined I forget myself take me, please do, I plead then i go with the flow of the wind to the south, to the north to the east, to the west a dizzying union with the wind, my wind
wake me up, when it becomes too much more than what I can handle and bring me back to earth where I truly belong my feet firmly on the ground be the wind that gently blows the wind that I can feel always there, even if I can’t see always there, never to go away to caress my face, envelop my whole being -

As all mothers know, motherhood is always a work-in-progress. Raising kids is not an easy task, let alone 7 kids! Kudos to one of the best moms in the blogosphere!

Agree with Linnor, you’re indeed the Bestest Mom I’ve ever known in the blogsphere. I admire you for having raised your 7 kids in the way they should go.
I’ve also had a meaningful reflection over the weekend, about my life’s purpose, that is, and after doing some last revisions on my entry, i realized that it was God’s plan for me to be a mother who yet has to learn so many things about life and motherhood.
Happy Easter Sexy Mom! Let’s all rejoice as our Dear Saviour loved as so much.
sexy mom: we moms, learn by the day, and what is amazing with blogosphere, is that we are able to share these experiences and learn from each others. btw, i cannot view the easter reflection—password protected!

sexy mom: thanks, Sydney. me and my kids enjoy looking at your photos!
A mother is always perfect for her own kids.
sexy mom: i guess that’s how they see moms! thanks
Sometimes I am also asking, “Am I giving my kids enough love and care?” One thing for sure, I love them unconditionally.
Happy easter tita dine!
