Rainy Days

We have some crazy weather here today, JP keeps checking on us and saying he feels like we are in a tropical storm or hurricane.. High winds and lots of rain, Louie is taking advantage of it and is curled up in a blanket on his new favorite chair. I think he knows our daily walk/adventure is out of the question today!
I caught myself sitting there with him for a bit while the power was out, it was actually peaceful in a strange way...time to reflect on life and the lessons we learn....

What Makes a Mother?- Author Unknown

I thought of you and closed my eyes. And prayed to God today.
I asked what makes a mother and I know I heard him say,
A mother has a baby. This we know is true.
But God, can you be a mother when your baby's not with you?

Yes you can. He replied with confidence in His voice.
I give many women babies. When they leave is not their choice.
Some I send for a lifetime and others for a day.
And some I send to fill your womb but there is no need to stay.

I just don't understand this. God I want my baby here.
She took a deep breath and cleared her throat and then I saw a tear.
I wish I could show you what your child is doing today.
If you could see your child smile with other children and say,

"We go to earth to learn our lessons of life and love and fear.
My Mommy loved me oh so much; I got to come straight here.
I feel so lucky to have a mom who had so much love for me.
I learned my lessons quickly. My Mommy set me free."
"I miss my Mommy and Daddy oh so much, but I visit her each day.
When she goes to sleep, on her pillow's where I lay.
I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek and whisper in her ear,
"Mommy, don't be sad today, I'm your baby and I'm here."

So you see my dear sweet one, your children are okay.
Your babies are here in my home and this is where they'll stay.
They'll wait for you with Me until your lesson is through.
And on that day you come home, they'll be at the gates for you.

So now you see what makes a Mother...
It's the feeling in your heart,
It's the love you had so much of,
Right from the very start.

Though some on earth may not realize you are a Mother,
Until their time is done.
They'll be there with me one day,
And know you're the best one.
