The Secret Sigh of Relief

Right now, all across the globe, there are women breathing a sigh of relief. 

Why? 

Because it's the day after Mother's Day and they made it through another year.  Think you don't know one of these women?

You're wrong. 

I guarantee that there is at least one woman in your life who is glad Mother's Day is over.  These women are your sisters, friends, neighbors and co-workers.  This sigh of relief is often kept silent and follows a day that is torture to many women because they don't have what so many take for granted.  Women who miss their moms, women who desperately want to be a mom but can't get pregnant, women who have lost their precious babies without getting to hold them, women who have said goodbye to their babies as they've entered the arms of Jesus.  For them, Mother's Day isn't all sunshine and rainbows.  Sometimes it's a day that they force themselves to survive. 

It's okay to let out a sigh of relief because you've gotten through another year.  I pray that you will be able to experience God's comfort for your aching heart.

He hears the cries of your heart. 

You are not forgotten.
