"I’ve received some wonderful gifts for Mother’s Day, such as
breakfast in bed (somewhat edible), homemade cards, and handpicked weedy
flowers from our yard. I love these
kinds of gifts because they’re the heartfelt kind that money can’t buy, and I
know that a lot of thought went into them. Store bought gifts are nice too, but there’s
just something special about a gift made just for me, intended to soothe my
mind, be music to my ears, make my heart sing, and bring me tears of joy. The
best Mother’s Day gift of all encompasses all of these things. And it’s a gift
that money can’t buy because, for one thing, you can’t put a price on it. You
can’t see it either, or hold it, or eat it, or drink it, or listen to it. Yet,
this gift is one I will treasure above any other because I get to enjoy it every
minute of every day until the day I die. It’s the gift of knowing that my child
is walking with the Lord. From the moment they are born, we start preparing
them for our gift by preparing them for eternity. God has blessed us with
breath in this life, which is but a vapor, and eternity is, well, eternity. So,
turns out, this is a gift for both of us." - Kristen R.
