Beautifully written. Thank you. The fact is, women are profoundly changed by the knowledge they have born another person inside them, whether the child is born full term, or whether for reasons unknown to any of us, that little life does not come to fruition in a live birth. And as you know, parenting sometimes comes about in other forms...fathers fill in for moms who aren't there, many folks who never have children have pets or are mentors in the community for young people, and so on. Mother's Day is a day of remembrance, and an opportunity to reflect on how we can contribute as a whole to the world.
Ah, Ed, Eve was figuratively (not literally) the first woman to give birth. I know that there are millions of “young earth” believers, as there are flat earth believers and others that even the most rudimentary of science disproves. The ultimate response of “I don’t care what the so-called science said, because the Bible says” is, well, just a belief system that can’t be disproved because there is no fact involved. Having said that, there is no question that a mother’s love transcends time and space. Happy Mother’s Day to all.
One thing is true, "God gave all of us mothers"
