Mother-Daughter Bond<\/p>\n
It’s a much talked about true story on television and in newspapers. After loosing her 10-day-old baby for six years, a mother miraculously retrieved her thought-to-be-dead daughter. Such an incredible story proves that there is a
\nineffable bond between the mother and her daughter.<\/p>\n
Seven years ago, a devastating fire raged in Philadelphia. Since —– had no way of saving her new baby from the fire, the grief-stricken mother had to accepted the \u201cfact\u201d that her daughter had been fully consumed by the fire. She was not even able to find her baby\u2019s remains. Last January, however, she was invited to a friend’s daughter’s sixth birthday party. She realized at her first sight that the birthday girl was her lost daughter. With the help of the police, a DNA test proved that she was right.<\/p>\n
A Sacrificial Mother<\/p>\n
A recent piece of news covered a marine disaster that caused shipwreck of a Norwegian passenger liner. No survivor on boar was found except a baby. The rescue efforts were delayed by the high wind lasting for as long as eight days. When the rescuers finally came, they found on a huge rock near shore a dead mother still holding her baby alive. It was found also an unbelievable fact of how the mother kept her baby from dying. She had used a sharp rock to pierce her chest, so that she could feed her baby with her blood!<\/p>\n
I was speechless for a quite while after reading this. Oh Mother! How can I use my tongue to praise you sacrificial love! Mothers\u2019 love comes from God, whose unfathomable love was shown by Jesus on the cross. His precious blood was shed for our sake. His life was sacrificed for us sinners. When I reflect that it is because of His grace that I became God\u2019s child today, I know that I should live for Him. This is the only way I could repay the debt of gratitude to my loving God.<\/p>\n
I also feel grateful that He gives the world loving mothers.<\/p>\n
Mother\u2019s Heart<\/p>\n
I read a touching article on line (author anonymous) no long ago that was
\noriginally posted in a seniors’ home. However, it speaks the heart of all mothers in the world. Let me share the piece with you:<\/p>\n
“My dear child, when you were very young, I spent a lot of time patiently showing you how to eat with your spoon or chopsticks. I taught you how to tie your shoelaces, button your buttons, comb your hair, blow your nose, slide down a slide\u2026. These and many other things are very precious memories to me.<\/p>\n
Still remember we practiced your first children\u2019s song over and over when you were finally singing it? Still remember your endless Whys, and I used to rack my brains to give you an answer you could understand? When I repeat these old stories and hum that old children’s song, please understand me and let me
\nindulge in my sweet memories. I truly wish you could give me some time and sit by my side, so that we could chat like good friends once more.<\/p>\n
My dear child, please don\u2019t loose your patient when I sometimes forget to button my buttons or tie my shoelaces; or when I get my clothes messy while eating, or when my hands are shaky combing my hair\u2026. Treat me with more patience and gentleness. As long as you are with me, my heart will be filled with great warmth and sweetness.<\/p>\n
My dear child, now my legs are not strong any more; I cannot walk with ease. So
\nplease hold my hand and slowly walk with me, just like I walked you step by step in the old time.”<\/p>\n
On Mothers’ Day this year, why not prepare an elegant gift and a beautiful card for your mother, who gave birth to you, nurtured and loved you with a tender heart. On the card, why not tell her your gratefulness towards her. I am sure she will be comforted and feel her hard work and sacrifice for you most rewarding.<\/p>\n
