So often when this holiday comes around women who are childless quickly dismiss the day with the mindset that it doesn’t apply to them.  I’d like for you to consider viewing this special day from a different perspective.  I’ll start by asking you to think of what comes to mind when you hear the word mother.  What characteristics surface when you see someone you revere as a mother?  It can be your own mother or grandmother, or someone you highly admire as a mother.  Since I have the floor I’ll share a few that come to my mind.  When I think of a good mother I think of one who exhibits love, caring, nurturing, protection, guidance, listening skills, disciplinary skills, encouragement . . . and my list could go on.  When I look over the aforementioned characteristics, I ask the question “Aren’t these the same characteristics that should be present in every female?”
