MEANING OF MOTHER'S DAY

Meaning of Mother's Day

Those days were golden when you wouldn't sleep without your mother's lullabies. You preferred her company in all the activities you did more than anyone else's and your life revolved around her. All these changed when you became independent and self-sufficient and Mother's Day became just a formal event when you presented the wonderful women in your life with a few flowers and gifts. 

We live in a world where we tend to forget the value of motherhood. It is time you realize that this day is more special than bestowing her with a few materialistic gifts. So, forget an attractive gift, spend some time or give some thought to your mother and pamper her as she did to you when you were a little kid. There is no other present which is as beautiful as your presence to your mother. Together with your beloved mom, you can cherish the memories of those days when you started your journey together as a mother and a daughter. Read through the article to explore what does a Mother's Day actually means.

To realise the actual essence of Mother's Day, it is essential to understand your mother. She is the person who carried you in her womb for nine months and introduced you to the greatest gift of god on earth - the life. She made you realise the real value of life by acting as a guiding force and a guardian angel whenever you were left helpless before the thorny path called life. She was always there with a smile whenever you need a moral support and a shoulder to cry. It was only with pride that she could watch your growth and success. It's for sure that for a child, a mother is its best friend.

For a person, everyday must be a Mother's Day. Everyday must be made memorable for your mother. Mother's Day must be celebrated in such a way that the intensity of the emotions and feelings should be in her mind all through her life. It must also be seen as a day to remember and shower prayers on that special person, without whom we would not have been what we are at present. It's a day when we should recognise her efforts in shaping our life and personality. It is her unconditional and unadulterated love, which made us mentally prepared to face the harsh realities of life.

Being a mother is not a cakewalk as her every action and word is imitated by the children. It is through her that the child perceives the world and the people around her. The responsibility which she shoulders is huge that even a single mistake would make great impact on the life of children. She instils not only confidence and self-belief in a child, but also teaches moral values and the real meaning of life.

You might be stepping towards your goal with not even a single second to spare. A pause at this moment might cost you a fortune. However, do remember that nothing in the world is as valuable as the glow on your mother's cheeks and the smile on her face. 

So, pause for a moment, remember that special person who made you whom you are today. Your mom will proud of you in sparing your precious time for her.

So to all you fathers, sons, daughters or those individuals who have a guardian whom your regard as your mother, please make this mother's day special by acknowledging their part in your lives.

Thank you all and may God bless you all.

Happy Mother’s to you all from the
