The memories I hold most dear with my mom are the times we sat on her bed late at night just talking. I treasure those moments now that I’m not living at home and able to chat until the wee-morning hours.

This Mother’s Day, tell your mom what she means to you. Share your heart with her. Reminisce about times in your life when she inspired and encouraged you. Praise her for her godly character – her servant’s heart, giving spirit, and strong faith. Also, be transparent with your mom. Share what’s going on in your life – your concerns and your triumphs. Showing that you love and trust her will help build a strong friendship between you.
