The glorious month of May brings many blessings, warmer weather, the fresh smell of rain from May’s spring showers, the abundance of fresh new life growing all around us, blustering with the intent of meeting its God-given full potential. In addition, the month for May also honors Foster Care Awareness, Nurse Appreciation, and of course, the most important tribute- Mother's Day!
The correlation of all the events in May did not strike me as peculiar, until it was brought to my attention by an interview… I was nervously getting ready to do a live online interview for Angels In Waiting with a large, widely listened to online syndicated radio show called “Online with Andrea.” Andrea’s, special guests for her Mother’s Day Special included Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann, and several other very high-ranking congressional–linked nonprofit organizations. Organizations who are reaching out to help address the issues within our foster care system, and other nonprofits helping the staggering number of, 163 million orphan children throughout our world…
163 million faces needing to find love, dedication, and a Mother. I was literally emotionally shocked, with that mine boggling statistics. Sicken to think, universally across our globe millions of women no longer value “Motherhood,” let alone the innocent and the precious lives they gave birth to.
I was pondering while I was also rehearsing for my “unknown questions and unpolished answers segment” for the online interview: How and Why women collectively have lost their ability to properly “mother”? To effectively “mother” is any species most sacred possession for optimal survival… But then the musical intro for the online syndicated radio show; “Online with Andrea” started and these inspirational Mothers, gave me hope, and showed me motherhood is thriving, and the ability to deeply love, and lay down our life for our offspring or somebody else’s offspring …is alive and well! Happy Mothers Day! To All of The Nurturing, Loving and Dedicated Mothers!
