It was Mother's Day, but I knew there
would be no celebration for me. I was a mother of a very active two-year-old
and my husband was a Captain of a Navy ship. That morning I had been up early
and had already taken several phone calls from both Navy wives and other people
needing to be comforted. After one phone call, I leaned back in my chair, and said,
"Dear God, I am hustling to be a blessing to others, but what about me? Is
there anything for me today?"
At that very moment the telephone rang.
It was the voice of a little girl who said, "Miss Stephanie I've been
thinking of you!" It took my breath away! I had known this girl from
another city, but at that moment it was to me the voice of God! I greatly
valued the thoughtfulness of the little one and her family who knew my husband
was out. But even greater than their kindness, I felt deeply touched by the
timing of the call and felt that precious voice spoke to me of God's great love
for me.
There have been many Mother's Days
since that one, but none so special, so deeply moving, so tenderly comforting.
I will never forget the feel of knowing how loved I was, and that I would never
be forgotten.
In the United States and elsewhere,
Mother's Day has become synonymous(与…同义)with lots of human expectations. If we're
not careful, the fulfillment of these clichés can become a false standard for
feeling loved, and a heavy burden on our family. When I think of that Mother's
Day long ago, tears come to my eyes, but not out of sadness. I rejoice(庆幸)in the profound love and caring I felt
and still feel to this day. This experience helps me see that love hugs
everyone, and that makes my heart sing for us all!
