Daughters’ love
May 22, 2012 | By: Cristiane Cardoso | Posted in: Behavior, Children, Family, Sisterhood
Last Mother’s Day, I was determined not to wish my dear mother a “Happy Mother’s Day”. I hugged and kissed her many times and said the same thing again and again, “I am not wishing you a Happy Mother’s Day today because your day is everyday my darling!” However, when the church service finished, I was surprised with a sunflower from the assistants, a box of chocolates and a box full of letters. These were from some of my spiritual daughters that belong to the Sisterhood throughout Brazil (some also from Japan!) that decided to surprise me.
Each letter told a story of something they overcame, of how they changed when they joined the Sisterhood, and how they consider me their spiritual mother. Imagine my happiness! I put up all those letters on one of my bedroom walls as an everyday reminder of them. These and many others show the love of a daughter – a love I once planted as a mother. It’s in a look, through a gift, an email, a comment, when insisting on taking a picture with me, a hug, an admiration from far away… they all give me affection.
They must all know this: you are part of a dream come true, a prayer made to God many, many years ago. I always wanted to be a mother and God gave you to me!
Every woman has the potential gift of motherhood, or to be a daughter. They just don’t become one if they don’t want to. Daughters don’t even need to formed in your womb-isn’t that wonderful!?

It has helped me to understand that GOD did not put Mothers here just to tell us off but to help us to grow into spiritual women of GOD. That my mother is not perfect but GOD placed her in my life for a reason to help me to do good things..

I felt bad that I could not coz I felt that she needed a pat on her shoulder. I sat and Imagined that fior our pastor to feed us spiritually, my God, it has taken her efforts to make that service a blessing. Thanks so much Chris. I am reading “Better than a new pair of shoes” and I found your blog address there. I am so much blessed by this book and it was really meant for me.

This is wonderful, because it is a grate achievement of saving souls because many life has being transform for the glory and honour of his name praise God, those that are suffering they are able to received life. We thank God for your life for surrendering your life and become an instrument for Christ.
I know I just keep putting comments but…. I cant help myself! It’s just tat everything you say it’s like it’s directed towards me and it helps me grow more and how to keep a strong relationship with God, so I may be able to show in the outside! Sometimes as I write my comments tears welled up upon my eyes from such happiness, joy, that I can have such advice to follow. So, thank you Ms. Chris, but overly of all I thank God, for having you to help me and many other women/girls.

Beautiful indeed Mrs Cris. To know that we can become a daughter or mother to someone by inspiring them and touching their lives in a way no one else has is amazing. It is what God has called us to do and something I strive to achieve while on this earth because through that souls will be added to God’s kingdom and lives transformed. They are many people who have helped me a long the way but few have actually made a positive impact on my life, even without saying a word. Just their whole being was even to inspire me. I will never forget such people, now imagine God?
yes it’s true! everyone had the potentail to be a mother!!!!
happy day to you as well, eventhough i am older than you!!!
in faith

Hi Mrs. Cris!
I know it’s too late to greet you a Happy Mother’s Day!
But I also want to thank you for being our spiritual mother. For our group the Sisterhood, it really helped me a lot to changed. What I am now, it’s because God gave us a wonderful mother like you and our Big Sister-Mrs. Ruth here in Philippines.
A mother that I had ever dreamed of…
I want to dedicate this song for you Mrs. Cris. I hope you’ll like it.
Many kisses and hugs!!!
