Sunday Soul Seeds: A Mother’s Day Montage May 9, 2021 A Prayer in Gratitude for Our Mothers Good and Gentle God, ... You who became human through a woman, grant to all mothers the courage they need to face the uncertain future that life with children always brings. Give them the strength to live and to be loved in return, not perfectly, but humanly. Xavier.edu... Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become the mother of all the living. Genesis 3:2 Having children just puts the whole world into perspective. Everything else just disappears. Kate Winslet For the Lord says this, ‘Behold, I extend peace to her (Jerusalem) like a river, And the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream; And you will be nursed, you will be carried on her hip and [playfully] rocked on her knees.’ Isaiah 66:12 Youth fades; love droops; the leaves of friendship fall; a mother’s secret hope outlives them all. Oliver Wendell Holmes Over the years I have learned that motherhood is much like an austere religious order, the joining of which obligates one to relinquish all claims to personal possessions. Nancy Stahl ‘Honor your father and your mother, as the Lord your God commanded you; that your days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with you, in the land which the Lord your God gives you.’ The main thing that ever helped mothers was other people mothering them, including aunties and brothers; a chain of mothering that keeps the whole shebang afloat. Annie Lamont When Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing near, he said to his mother, ‘Woman, behold, your son!’ John 19:26 There is a time to separate from our mother. But unless we are ready to separate-unless we are ready to leave her and be left-anything is better than separation. Judith Viorst Prayer for Mothers: Lord, give each mother a worshipful reverence of you, the Creator and Sustainer of life. Help each mother to rest in the knowledge that they are but stewards of your children and that only your Spirit can produce change into the hearts of each boy and girl. May each mother find rest in you. Amen Crosswalk.com

This may seem unlikely, yet I know in the depths of my being that it is indeed so.

Friday Affirmation 5.07.2021 My life is in divine order. As I align my will with divine will for what is highest and best for all, everything that occurs in my life is ultimately for my good. I am not subject to the whims of fate, luck, astrology, nature, happenstance, or the whims of a capricious deity. I am not the victim of those who would perpetrate evil. I direct my own thoughts, emotions, intentions, and actions. Whatever others may intend for my harm will turn out for my good eventually. My loving Creator and I always seek what is for my best and for the best of all. Everyone and everything is set right as I trust and act in accordance with divine will. My life is in divine order.
