Mom, you don't need to be superwoman
Originally appeared on spirituality.com
Although most countries celebrate Mother’s Day in May, Moms’ special day is March 26 in the United Kingdom. Many mums happily receive cakes, flowers, cards, gifts, or phone calls from their children. These are loving tokens of appreciation and respect for the importance of mothering.
My earliest recollection of Mother’s Day in Australia was the morning I proudly carried the breakfast tray into my mother’s room for the first time. Serving my mum breakfast in bed was my way of thanking her for the love and caring she unstintingly gave me, even though I didn’t understand back then that it wasn’t easy to raise children, be a wife, manage a household, and also contribute an income.
However, one thing I did begin to understand, after my family became acquainted with Christian Science, was the idea of God’s motherhood. While the concept of God’s fatherhood is more commonly known, the thought that we each have a divine Mother who looks after us is just as important.
