Happy Mother’s Day. Hmmm… while I appreciate the concept, to me this day is less about celebrating women who mother children and more about recognizing women who are wonderful examples to children (and adults.)
So… this year I’m going with “Happy FeRoMo** Day!” to all the women in my life. Not quite as catchy, is it?
My life blessings include a multitude of positive female role models – certainly my mom, but also my wife, sister, aunts, cousins, mother-in-law, several other female family members, teachers, ministers, work colleagues and friends.
FeRoMo Day 2018 is a great time to remember these many special women in our lives. The Helen Steiner Rice poem HERE captures nice thoughts about the special women who care for us – – our mothers and/or other caring women in our lives! Maybe you’ll even forward this email or print the poem and share it with a special woman?
CBS Sunday Morning on their May 6 broadcast included a touching commentary from a woman who is not a girl’s birth mother but is her mom. You can see it by fast forwarding to the 50 minute, 50 second point of this CBS Sunday Morning weblink: https://www.cbsnews.com/video/sunday-morning-full-episode-56/ It’s well worth the 3 minutes…
May we find time today to make this day refreshing and special for all women who are role models in our world…
Enjoy the day, filled with the Spirit!
