When Mother's Day Is Bittersweet

Mother’s Day is such a precious day, but for so many of us, it is bittersweet.  

I’ve wondered about this lately,

 how one day can be packed with such conflicting emotions.    

I’ve come to the conclusion that a mother- who she is and all she represents-

is a beautiful picture of God’s unconditional love for us.  
Which is why we experience joy when it’s there and sadness when it’s missing. 

  

Whether Mother's Day is bitter or whether it's sweet, 
soak up the love of Jesus right where you are.  
 His love is the same no matter what day it is.
