Thank You, Mom, For Being Strong For Me
Contributed by Jerry Cosper on May 4, 2020 (message contributor)
It almost brings tears to my eyes when I watch the commercials where the child is growing up and is leaving home for college, or to get married and live in another city. I think about how difficult it must have been for my mom to watch me drive off to college in another city. And then later to leave home to start a new life at a new job in another city.
I’m thinking that Mary must have felt the same way as she realized that her baby boy was becoming an adult and now making decisions for himself. But it must take place. It’s part of the maturing process. It has been said that (Motherhood) is the one job where, the better you are, the more surely you won't be needed in the long run.
Watch a nature program and see the mother lion run off her adolescent son, then watch the eagle push the fledglings out of the nest when the time has come for them to leave it. And to that I say, “Thank you, mom, for being strong for me.”
