Where should I start, Lord? I have so many things to say to You. I am so sorry that it seems that I ignored You lately because I am too absorbed in my own world. But I cried out to You whenever I hit the wall and have no where to go.
Nevertheless You love always draws me back to You, closer than before. Forgive me that as if I just said hi and then left You. But when Your love stirred up my heart, called me back to You, I recalled all Your loving kindness I have ever tasted.
Among the many faces of the world, with lots of ups and downs and problems or challenges seem infinite, You are the One who always gives rest to my soul and You are the song of my heart. I want to thank You, Lord for the love You have shown me through my mom. I give thanks for her, the mom that You gave to me.
She is far from perfect, but she is just perfect to be my mom. Thank You for giving her another year of life, an opportunity to celebrate another anniversary. It is Your love that sustain her and sustain us as a family.
She was the one who scolded me when I didn’t do it right at school. She was the one who got mad when I didn’t behave myself at home. She was the one who got angry when our family couldn’t make it through. She was the one who cried in the middle of the night. She was the one who took the burden and made lot of sacrifice. She was the one who cooks the food that we eat every day. She was the one who took care of me after my surgery.
I saw her smile, I saw her tears, I saw how she started to get wrinkle but she is still beautiful in my eyes and sure enough in Your eyes as well. And though it seems that most of the time we never agree on anything, but she just accepted all the decision I made though I have to confess that I am never sure of anything in my life but one thing is for sure: Your love will sustain me. Unaware she put quite few of pressure to me and has her own dreams and expectations for me. But I never can’t be the one that she wanted me to be.
The list will be infinite if I want to continue, but I just want to give thanks because of her, because of Your love that I have received through my mom. Please keep showering her with Your love and peace and joy. Reveal Yourself to her and draw her close to Your. Help her to get rid of her own yoke and put on the yoke You have prepared for her. Let her know that You love her and You know her more than anyone could know her.
Please help me to love her more than I can ever love, don’t let me make her upset but most of all make me the person You want me to be for her. Take her dreams and my dreams and put Your dreams in our hearts. Show her that trials and tribulations are part of life and though it seems unfair, You know what is going on in our lives and You care and love us enough to allow us going through all the process to refine us.
Forgive her sin and count it no more. Give her strength to keep going on in spite the pressure. Help me to show her how much I care because You care for me and for her. And if I prepared no present for her birthday, please accept this prayer and take my life and my all, and turn it to be the living sacrifice and do Your will and Your work through this prayer and through my life, to show my mom and to show the world, despite all the circumstances, the bond we have that You prepared long before time in heaven is never a wrong formula, that You love will sustain us as a family, make us to improve ourselves and though we will fall again and again, You will help us to get back to our feet and walk again as a family. Help us to love You more and to love one another more.
I give into Your hand our broken dreams and lives and I know You will make them new according to Your perfect plan, because I know that in all things, God works for the good and for His glory, of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.
Happy birthday, mom, may God help me to be the child He has prepared me to be for you. And when I can give you nothing, we have enough to know that we love and are being loved. And we know we have strength to keep walking and He will provide for us. I love you, mom. Thanks for being not a perfect  mom but just perfect for us.
