A Mother's Love; Happy Mother's Day!

Today is a very special day. It is one where we celebrate "Mothers".

What is so special about a mother? She comes in many different forms. She can be a spiritual mother, biological mother, adopted mother, a godmother, grand mother, or maybe someone you look up to. She is nurturing, compassionate, a disciplinarian, a friend, a confidant, a role model, and the list goes on. She is special in every way.

For those of you who are unable to spend this mother's day with your mother, don't be discouraged. She loves you and her spirit will always live in you, because you are a part of her. Take her good qualities and make them your own.

Let's celebrate the mother figures in our lives and for this one day let them know how much they are loved and appreciated. Sometimes all it takes is a hug.

Happy Mother's Day!

Be Blessed!

Never Give Up!

Today's post was submitted by my mother. Enjoy!

A lot of people fail to achieve their goals in life, because they don't push beyond the pain. When the doctors tell you that you need to exercise in order to maintain a healthy body, at first the task sounds so easy. Then the challenge comes. We see others doing it and we take on their attitude of achievement. However, we forget that the course gets lonely, so demanding and ultimately distracting. In order to achieve the goal, you have to look beyond the pain of feeling that you are alone, the pain that your physical strength and endurance is almost bleak. If you fail at achieving your goal due to a physical ailment, that is almost acceptable. If you fail to complete your goal, because you were hurting emotionally, how could you live with yourself afterward? You haven't lived up to your God given potential.

Remember, the race is not given to the swift, nor to the strong, but to him that endureth until the end.

God bless!
