a letter to the mamas

a letter to the mamas

To the mom-to-be, the one with a hopeful mama heart.⠀

At the beginning of the journey.⠀

⠀⠀⠀

To the mama with babies in Heaven.⠀

At the stop along the journey that no one wants to make.⠀

⠀⠀⠀

To the expectant mama.⠀

At this part of the journey marked by anticipation and preparation.⠀

⠀⠀⠀

To the new mama.⠀

Navigating your new role, coming to terms with your limitations, fighting for your priorities, working to find a new balance, a new rhythm, accepting and enjoying your new reality. With sweet little hands and feet now on this journey with you.⠀

⠀⠀⠀

And to the mamas who raised us.⠀

A little further down the road on the journey, trusting God with your babies, doing the delicate dance of letting go while holding on.⠀

⠀⠀⠀

You’re doing great.⠀

He’s holding you. And them.⠀

He’s the Giver of the gifts.⠀

And He’s the Overcomer of the struggles.⠀

⠀⠀⠀

Remember His promise of John 16:33–that though we have trouble in this world, we can take heart, because He has overcome the world.⠀

⠀⠀⠀

Breathe, rest, and delight in this portion of your journey—gifts and struggles and all. Today and every day.⠀

⠀⠀⠀

But especially today.⠀

⠀⠀⠀

Happy Mother’s Day.
