Like No Other...

Nobody else can take her place

In loves that life may offer

One wears a truer, kinder face

Than any, any other

She leaves behind the girl she was

To answer life’s great honor

No more to serve herself because

Of love’s Call placed upon Her

Where innocence delights and charms

With blessing beyond number

When God bestows to *anxious eager arms

Life’s dearest, sweetest wonder

And though the chores this charge will ask

May seem but common duty

The love that draws Her to its task

Makes it a thing of beauty

…where she knows she cannot forsake

This sacred call, no never

 She will be stretched but will not break

For heartstrings cannot sever

And oft, though weary to the core

From a Source deep within her

She finds the strength to sweep the floor

Or clean up a late dinner

…to kiss, hug, hold, and oh, let go

As years scatter behind her

She, Keeper of the home, ‘they’ know

Where they can always find her

Her role of day-by-day lent grace

Is unlike any other

Nobody else can take the place

That God designed for Mother

*I have a niece waiting anxiously, SO anxiously/eagerly to become a mother! 

I do so hope she will be able to celebrate Mother's Day as a first time mommy!

 Thinking of you lots, Brittany!
Hang in there. It will happen and though the thought that motherhood NEVER ends can feel terrifying at first,(she expressed this and I remember feeling exactly like that!)

 we would never trade it for the world, 

and like every other call in life, it comes one day at a time, 

but unlike any other call in life God places to our care living souls! 

This is a charge like no other!
