Today is mother's day, everyone is gifting their moms the things with love and it's really nice to watch how much they love their mothers. They are providing all the materialistic items, am not saying it's a wrong, it's wonderful. But what actually a mother needs and expects from her children? Does the children meeting those expectations?
Before we answer to the above two questions, let's see how motherhood is divine.
When a child is born, world feels happy and they celebrate. Father feels proud that he got someone to carry the legacy. In the mother's mind, it begins a battle. A battle of love, but not hatred. She now has a new responsibility for the child, she now has to balance the love for her husband and the child.
Parenting starts with the moms, they handle their children with lot of care. Multitasking skills are more likely to be with the women, when they become mothers, it is seen in the action.
Being a mother means taking all the responsibility and moving on with a strategy in raising the child. She knows very well that her children are the replica of her, they represent the entire family when they're grown ups. She knows exactly how to guide and motivate them and shape them. She will do this in her entire life irrespective of her children age.
Mothers love isn't compared to any of the other earthly love. It's unique and it's very special. In mothers love there are no restrictions, whether the mother is a poor or rich, celebrity or a common person, her love will be the same. This love is divine and that patience is not mastered by anyone.
Mothers love has no species difference. Animals even the most cruel form of beasts express the same amount of love, birds and other animals. So, motherhood is the symbol of love.
When we need to draw a symbol of love, within 2 seconds we draw a heart symbol, but I think it's the picture of a mother with her child and pampering the child is the true symbol of love.
When we continue the topic to stay on love, that love is too deep, it's attachments are long. Not a day write can explain it. |

The work she do at house is her responsibility and task. She builds the house. In The Holy Bible, from the Book of Proverbs, we see the following verses about a woman.
Proverbs 31 : 10-30
10 A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.11 Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value.12 She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life. 13 She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands. 14 She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar. 15 She gets up while it is still night; she provides food for her family and portions for her female servants. 16 She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard. 17 She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks. 18 She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night. 19 In her hand she holds the distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers. 20 She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy. 21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household; for all of them are clothed in scarlet. 22 She makes coverings for her bed; she is clothed in fine linen and purple. 23 Her husband is respected at the city gate, where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.24 She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes.25 She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. 26 She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.27 She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her:
29 “Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all."
30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
Now let's back to the question. What does a mother actually expects from her children. Not any gifts we offer her, she needs that love. She sacrificed her nights to keep you safe and sound sleep, she sacrificed her tastes and likes for us, she sacrificed her everything for our sake to make us happy.
We have no substitute for that love & sacrifice. All we can do is to love her, there left nothing to sacrifice for her because she is the one who paid it all.
The role of a mother is divine, with the involvement of God only that motherhood is praised. Mothers has a very special place in all our lives, are we making them happy?
When we are kids, we cried for toys and she bought us by passing it to father. When we cry today, she will give her life to us. That love isn't changing, neither increasing nor decreasing. It's constant, if I may say it has increased more.
On this mother's day, we can make our moms happy with our actions. If she is praying for a change in us, let's change and gift her. If she is expecting a development in our lives, let's develop and gift her. If she wish to see us on top, let's get to the top and gift her.
Let's do this, whatever it takes. Because she is the only person who is the reason and meaning to our lives.
There are also few among us, who has lost their moms and staying away from celebrating the mothers day. My dear friends, if you avoid this the comfort you get here is a temporary. If you cry, wipe your tears and work to achieve the dreams of your mom, that happiness is heartful one. Fulfill her dreams and gift her, somewhere she is there, still watching you and caring for you. If you cry, she cries. If you rejoice, she rejoices. If you are depressed and feeling abandoned, she is right there beside you to pat your back and say 'my child am still with you'.
Think once, what's this death to separate mother from a child? Her love is unconditional, it can beat the death and come to you to see you again. Let's gift her that happiness.
Mother always defends her child, but if she punishes it's for good. If she supports you even after a bad deed, the child chooses that path considering it as a good one. If mom punishes, it means the child need to turn away from the bad.
A virtual Mother's Day gift :
In the current generation, after getting married many couples work together to earn both hands. They say they don't find enough time to meet their parents and talk to them. Few will provide them money and few won't. What I personally saw is keeping their parents in the old age homes. How can this be justified?
Elders, they are lacking respect in the society because the youngsters think that they are outdated and waste of time. If they aren't there, am sure the world will be a place of bad mess. When parents are elders, it's the responsibility of a son/daughter to look after them and talk to them. No explanations and reasons to escape, because when you were a kid, if they left you all alone, would you be the one who you are now?
My dream is big, my dream, your dream and all our dream is huge. It is to see no old age homes filled with those elders who has family and children. Nowadays orphanages also filled with these elders who has children too. Isn't this the thing to be sorted out!
They may give them money and gifts, but are these what they needed from their children? For a wife they are abandoning parents. For a husband they are leaving them behind, when will this be done?
Why can't they treat both the family as one? Lot of questions we are looking forward to hearing from those elders. Many answers are still unanswered, question marks on their faces are still there.
What's the virtual gift here? It's the love & caring only.
To all my dear readers and fellow bloggers, I wish you a Happy Mother's Day. If you are a mother, I salute you, if you are a child, I request you to make your mom happy.
