It was 22 years ago when I arrived in Canada and chose Calgary, Alberta to be my home. Leaving my family and friends behind, it was a new adventure for me to be in a new country without knowing anyone. That was the time I looked for a Filipino community paper and never found any, [...]

Born With God’s Love

By Prodie Padios

1 “Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.” 2 “Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise— 3 “so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.”–EPHISIAS 6:1-3

“Happy Mother’s Day!”

That’s my heartfelt greeting to all the wonderful Mothers of the world.

Today is your day, and I want to take this opportunity to salute you being the best Moms ever.

We all know that you invested everything you had into our lives.

We would not be here without you, Mommies.

You are always the best!

We owed you our lives!

As Abraham Lincoln once said: “All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel Mother.”

Even George Washington admitted that without her mother, he would not become a successful president of USA. He said: “My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw. All I am I owe to my mother. I attribute all my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical education I received from her.” Ronald Reagan also didn’t hesitate to tell to the whole universe how lucky he was to have a very intelligent and beautiful mom. Reagan confessed: “My mother told me that everything in life happened for a purpose. She said all things were part of God’s plan, even the most disheartening setbacks, and in the end, everything worked out for the best.” George W. Bush one time expressed himself the importance of a Mother to her children, especially in guiding and nurturing them in order to become healthy and successful. Bush said: “By providing a nurturing environment where their children can grow in confidence and character, mothers lay the foundation for the next generation of Americans to realize their full potential.”

With this article, I want to share a letter of a Mom to her loving son. This wonderful Mom almost gave up for having a baby, but because of the power of prayers, and the guidance of the Almighty Father, she and her husband were granted an angelic son.

The Mom entitled her letter:

“Born With God’s Love”

May 8, 2016

To My Ever-Dearest Son, Nason:

I still remember when I solemnly prayed and communed to God to conjure us with your loving Dad, Arnold, a child.

A Blessed One to call as our very own; for us to love and look after.

It took a while before I have conceived. It came to a point that I got tired of counting days, months, year have passed by to which I almost gave up. We even sought fertility treatment to no success. I once told myself, if motherhood was not meant for me, so be it! At least I did my part; we did something.

I was on the verge of losing hope and to just accept my fate when God answered my sincerest prayers. I exceedingly believed that you were born because of God’s love and warmheartedness! He granted me the desires of my heart in His most perfect time.

The first time I saw you, those sweet little eyes, I felt love all over me. And when I finally held you in my arms, it was the most powerful tool that bonded us together. How can I ever forget that innocent smile which captured my heart instantly? Your tiny crying voice, it’s like music to my ears. Indeed, you have brought so much happiness to me and filled up the empty space in my heart!

As parents, we only want the best for you. We want you to be baptized in the same faith that we have. We want you to humble yourself before the Lord, for we are nothing without Him. He is the way, the truth and the light. In Him, you will never go wrong.

In each passing day, I want to see you grow with so much love and compassion in your heart. Always put God in everything you do. No matter how hard life may seem, never lose hope. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways, submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight. Always keep the faith, my dearest son!

I may not be a perfect mother in every way, but rest assured I will always be there for you—no matter what!

I will be your shoulder to cry on in times of difficulty. I will lend you my ears and visual modality—if that would help ease your pain, help you gain your trust and possibly mold your well-beings to the extreme.

God never gave up on me, who am I to give up on you? And in every triumph in life, I will praise and support you in every step of the way.

Words are not enough to express my endless love and overweening compassion for you, my precious one, my happiness, my life!

You mean the world to me. All the sacrifices I have gone through in order to bear a child were all worth it—because I have you!

And I will be forever grateful to God for giving me the best gift ever: an adorable, cherubic, loveable son in you!

Yes, you are the love of my heart; the hope of my life; the saviour of my soul—the real meaning of my everything!

Now, it is all in your hands to give meaning to your existence and bring back all the glory to the Lord, our God.

You will always be my baby! I love you with all my heart and soul!

I wish you all the best, my loving son!

God bless you always and forever!

Your loving mother,

NATASHA

I am really touched with this letter of Natasha, exclusively for her loving son.

We can see and feel how a Mom loves her God-given son, and with this, as President Bill Clinton concluded: “There is perhaps no more powerful link than the love between mother and child.”

Again, HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY to all the Mommies of the World!

Thank you very much to all of you!
