The Best Gift EVER!

Becoming a mother was the best thing that ever happened to me.
The day my son was born 15 years ago, I met God for the first time.
I knew God, I called myself a christian but I did not KNOW Him.
I LOVED beyond anything I had ever felt before. 
It hurt. A lot.
I cried. A lot.
For the first time I caught a glimpse of how much God loves me.
I loved this little baby so much that I was in pain,
all over my soul,
all through my body.
Sometimes,  I couldn't even breath.
Then I 'got it'; God loves me MORE than this!
Wow!
Unfathomable.
God created my boy.
God created me.
God created you.
God created that homeless man.
God created Charles Manson, Ted Bundy and Jack the ripper.
How it must hurt to see his creation hurt his creation.
How it must sadden him to see his people sad.
I would die for my child!
So would God.
Gods ONLY son came down from Heaven to dwell among us,
many rotten, filthy souls, hurting and hurting others.
He came to bring life. Abundantly.
Jesus, Gods only son, DIED for his creation.
For the purposes of bringing us back to him.
If my child had gone astray, like Gods people had, I would welcome with open arms the love of my life.
I would open my hug,which is home, to the child that passed through me into this world.
So on this Mothers Day, I thank God for the miracle of life He blessed me with.
I am overwhelmed with the gift I have been given, the gift of being a mother.
