The best daughter you can be!
Posted in Youth on November 5, 2009 by adminOn Mothers day we often get so worried about what present we will give our mothers or what new surprises we can come up with…
As I am so far from my Mom I usually try to come up with something for her special day…
Most moms did the best they new how…It is not unusual for daughters to have resentments against their mothers…It happens for different reasons. Sometimes they feel their mother did not protect them enough, or didn’t support her family, or they resent their mothers because she mistreated your dad, or they never really felt loved by her, or never heard their mother say how proud they were of them, or they feel the mother only points out their mistake or their failure, or you resent not having a father.
Whatever reasons you might have think about this:
The truth is people do what they think is right without meditating upon the consequences.
Maybe your mom really failed you, but today you have the opportunity to give the best gift that is your forgiveness or start treating your mother as your friend and not the enemy.
Call your mom and tell her things you never did before!
“Honor your mother and father”
Is there a better way to honor her than becoming her new best friend?
