Mothers

Two days ago (Friday), there was a bad news that the Taiwanese fighter jet crashes; 2 pilots, 2 Singapore soldiers , and six other Singaporean soldiers were injured, with two in critical condition. Thank God that many of the Singaporean soldiers were not in the military base at the time of crash, otherwise, there will be even more casualties.

This news moved me deeply as someone I know well was also there for the training. Suddenly, I could feel the anxieties of the family members, especially the mothers, when they were waiting for the news to know who were the casualties, and wondered if their sons were one of them. Imagine the relief the mothers felt when they knew that their sons were safe. On the other hand, the anguish of the mothers of the dead and injured personnel is indescribable.

Today is Mother's Day. I wish all who still have your own mothers around to have a wonderful celebration with them, thanking them for all the good things they have done for you, some of which may be done in silence.

To the mothers, I wish you a...

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY.

25Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, "Dear woman, here is your son," 27and to the disciple, "Here is your mother." From that time on, this disciple took her into his home.
- John 19:25-27

Till Death Do Us Part - poem

Till death do us part
This is the morning
After so many years...
Now the beggining of my mourning
Goodbye, mom.

Mum - poem

"Can a mother forget the baby at her breast
and have no compassion on the child she has borne?

Though she may forget,
I will not forget you!

See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands;
your walls are ever before me.

- God. Isaiah 49:15-16

Will a mum give birth then abandon her baby?
Normally not so, but for some reasons maybe.
Why would a mum want to do that?
For reason only she knows best.

If a mum has to do that, she must be very sad.
She must be feeling the pain that no one ever get.
She must be feeling hurt and very guilty.
Who can know her sorrows and agony?

Yet God will never forget me
Though I may forget or make him angry.
He is more than a mum to me
And more than a dad I need.

- Bee
