A Hallmark celebration of moms, grandmothers, aunts, and sisters. If you’re asking me, I’d say every day should be Mother’s Day! Lol.</p> <p>Before I became a mom, I had no idea what would be involved and the worries I’d experience. Yes, there have been many joys and ARE many joys I share with my two daughters, but the saying is true when kids are younger, the troubles are smaller. The older the children, the more complex things become. Having a preteen and another right behind, it’s no wonder I color my hair every seven weeks.</p> <p>But, I digress. Mother’s Day is a reminder on how lucky I’ve been to have had a mom who sacrificed a lot to give my sisters and I, clothes on our back, and food on our table. Both of my parents worked 2-3 jobs at various points of my upbringing. They may not have been there all the time, or knew how to deal with puberty and life questions, but I never went without.</p> <p>My mother was not perfect in raising three daughters, either. In hindsight, her decisions on things weren’t the greatest, but she did what she knew how. I’m far from perfect myself. I make more mistakes than corrections; and still, I’m beyond thankful that God picked me to be a mom too.</p> <p>One of my favorite mothers, besides my mom, is Mary the earthly mother of Jesus. She’s one of the bravest women I have ever read about. It amazes me that out of all the females that God could have selected, he chose Mary, a peasant girl to be Jesus’s mom.</p> <p>It is said in the Bible that God found favor in Mary.</p> <p><a href="https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Luke-1-28/">Luke 1:28</a> And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.</p> <p><a href="https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Luke-1-30/">Luke 1:30</a> And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.</p> <p>And what does Mary say when she learns that through the Holy Spirit, she will become pregnant and then bear a son. The Son of Man—God’s only begotten son!</p> <p><a href="https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Luke-1-38/">Luke 1:38</a> And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.</p> <p>Even though, she might have been frightened and confused, Mary still trusted and believed. Now, if that isn’t faith, I don’t know what is.</p> <p>Being a mom is a hard job. There is no punch clock—it’s a 24-hour responsibility. You have to multi-task, be quick-witted, and ready for anything, all the time.</p> <p>But, the fruits of the labor, my labor, always supersede the curve balls that come my way.</p> <p>On this Mother’s Day, thank your mom for bringing you into this world. I know I will. If God hadn’t chosen her, you wouldn’t be here.</p> <p>Until next time…</p> <p><a href="https://i0.wp.com/www.chiaratalluto.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/IMG_0625.jpg?ssl=1"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" data-attachment-id="5615" data-permalink="https://www.chiaratalluto.com/celebrating-happy-mothers-day/img_0625/" data-orig-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.chiaratalluto.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/IMG_0625.jpg?fit=1200%2C1600&ssl=1" data-orig-size="1200,1600" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="IMG_0625" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.chiaratalluto.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/IMG_0625.jpg?fit=225%2C300&ssl=1" data-large-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.chiaratalluto.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/IMG_0625.jpg?fit=676%2C901&ssl=1" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5615" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.chiaratalluto.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/IMG_0625.jpg?resize=225%2C300&ssl=1" alt="" width="225" height="300" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.chiaratalluto.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/IMG_0625.jpg?resize=225%2C300&ssl=1 225w, https://i0.wp.com/www.chiaratalluto.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/IMG_0625.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/www.chiaratalluto.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/IMG_0625.jpg?resize=1152%2C1536&ssl=1 1152w, https://i0.wp.com/www.chiaratalluto.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/IMG_0625.jpg?resize=676%2C901&ssl=1 676w, https://i0.wp.com/www.chiaratalluto.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/IMG_0625.jpg?w=1200&ssl=1 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px" /></a></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!</strong></p> <p> </p> <p><em>References:</em></p> <p>New King James Bible</p> <p> </p> ]]></content:encoded> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">5613</post-id> </item> </channel> </rss>
