I just returned from a birthday lunch with my mom, my sister, two of my brothers and my sister-in-law. It was a wonderful blessing to again celebrate our mom's birthday with her. She always wants to go to Red Lobster, so that is where we took her. She always gets the Admiral's Feast meal, so that's what we encouraged her to order. She always gets full from the salad and biscuits, so she says she'll take the majority of the entree home for another meal later. We encouraged her to do that today, and she did. There was lots of laughter and good will. It was the same mother, the same restaurant, the same meal, several of the same family members, but even deeper family love.
We all felt blessed. If your mom is still here with you, send her some love today. Perhaps you can plan to celebrate her next birthday with her. If your mom is no longer here with you, think of her and give thanks for the good memories you have of her. If you are a mom, be the best mom you can be.
Take care,
Sylvia
