Single mom

Suzanne Brown

Does this title sound like you’re alone?
The truth is that God’s creation is never on its own.
Through Love and its abundance,
we conquer any sense of lack
or false responsibilities
that the world tries to attach.
There’s no pull to fill a seemingly empty space.
As we learn, God is All-in-all;
there is no vacant place.
Single mother?
My true husband is always omnipotent Love—
ever-comforting,
ever-supplying,
ever-uplifting Love.
Fatherless?
My children never were.
Not for a moment of time.
Their eternal Father guides and protects their upward climb.
We all reflect completeness, individually, at God’s behest.
Let us know it.
Let us express it,
for we are limitlessly blessed.
