A Mother's Day Gift

written by: Deborah Cogan
I became a Christian May 5th, 2001 and since then, the Lord has
spoken to me on several occassions. The one that brings a smile to my face is it was this past Mother's Day and I was feeling so good that morning. My husband
woke me up with breakfast and a gift, they gave out roses at church to all the
mother's and the day was going perfect. Well, as the day went on, my boys, ages
22 and 20, never bothered to call me or acknowledge it was mother's day. It
wasnt that they didn't get me a gift or anything but I never even got a phone
call. I was so hurt that I sat in my room and cried most of the day. The next
morning I woke up and was still feeling depressed and even a bit angry. I asked
the Lord why is it that I am always giving to my family, my best friends to
everyone but I never get in return. I told him I felt so alone and tired of
being forgotten.
I was leaving for work and still feeling upset when I turned on the car and the
Christian radio was on. A song on the radio was playing and I don't remember the
exact words but this is what the Lord was saying to me:
"No matter how alone you may feel in this world, you are never alone. The Lord
is in your heart and soul and with you always. So no matter who forgets you, the Lord is always there for you"
From that minute on...I realized the Lord wanted me to know that even though my
boys weren't there or my best friends, he was always there for me. That was the
best Mother's Day gift I ever received.
