Mothers- A Blessing!

It's been a month. What's the verdict? As we all know it's mother's Day in Canada, as well as a number of other countries in the world- most especially in North America. You are probably already aware that it varies around the world, i.e; the dates we celebrate Mother's Day. Happy Mother's Day to all our loving mothers, including expectant mothers. As they say, 'it's a day to honor mothers and motherhood'. So below is a little piece for the Virtuous woman I call my Mother. Notwithstanding, it speaks to all mothers who have worked hard, prayed and encouraged us through our journey in this world.

My Esteemed Jewel.
I am the bone of her bone, the one by which I was birth forth.

The one that Christ gave the strength and grace to train me in the "way of the Lord".

In her womb I was conceived, In her womb I was sheltered for 9 months .

I am not with her 24/7, 365days/yr, but through her instinct[s] she knows when am down.

Her discerning spirit- I thank God for.

Her loyalty and dedication makes the difference,

Helps her set her priorities right.

Her service to God, builds my faith in Him.

His grace made sufficient for her; Makes me withstand the days of trials.

Indeed you are a Blessing. You are my Esteemed Jewel- Mum!

Merci! Do have a fabulous week! She is excited. With God's grace we are back to blogging frequently.

Mum- You Are A Rare Gem.

For those in Canada, it's Mother's Day- 11th of May. Wishing all our irreplaceable mothers Happy Mother's Day. It's also Mother's Day in Australia, Belgium, Cuba, Ghana, Germany, Italy and the United States, to mention a few. On the other hand, countries such as Ireland, Nigeria and the United Kingdom already celebrated Mother's Day on March 2nd 2008. Still, wishing all mothers irrespective of their countries Happy Mother's Day. This is dedicated to the woman who gave birth to Iyanuloluwa and Oluwafunmibi, our mother, who is a huge part of our lives. First a daughter, then a sister, to some she's a niece to others an aunt, to some a mother and to others a friend and colleague. Most importantly, you are our mother- popularly called 'mummy'. Mothers we truly appreciate you all, it's our prayer never to let you down.

Mum,
You were the chosen one who birth us- your children into this world
For you, giving birth to us was not just another job you had to fulfill
Nurturing us to greater heights is your goal for all your children
Because with you, settling for less does not exist in your dictionary
You sacrifice time even when it seemed 'time' was running out
A mother's love- your love is irreplaceable
Sacrificing your time and money is just a fraction to the many things you sacrificed
Putting your dreams aside for a while to send us to the best of schools
Is never a problem for you
Giving has always been a big part of you
Your patience with us is beyond human imagination
You never hesitate to chastise us when we do something wrong
Just as you always encourage us and believe in us even when we didn't believe in ourselves
You truly are a rare gem
You have always been a source of inspiration, encouragement and strength to us your children
Your smile brightens the room just as your laughter is infectious and genuine
You teach us to be true to ourselves and never to live 'false' lives
Words to describe you and your qualities are very limited
You never condemned us when we did everything wrong
'In your eyes we do no wrong, even though in reality we do everything wrong'
It's great having a friend in you, even greater having you as our mother.

Señora Phygina Tolulope, you are indeed a Virtuous woman- a woman of inestimable value. It's a privilege having you as our mother. We your children are honored to know you as mother. May you enjoy the good fruits of your labour. You are priceless. You are a very strong woman. And you are a source [to the glory of God] of inspiration to many. May God grant us many more years of celebration {with you} in Jesus name.
Mum you're the BEST!
With Love...{Iyanuloluwa and Oluwafunmibi}
