The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 364

Good morning everyone and welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm, gardens and RetrEat centre on day 74 of our latest lock down. Another Sunday but not an ordinary one - it is Mothers Day and a tribute to the great women throughout the world. Maybe I am biased here but I firmly believe that Irish mothers are the best in the world based on my experience with my own Mum. She was always in charge both inside the house and on the farm. There was always a fresh smell of homemade bread, scones and tarts. Always a welcome for everyone. Her soothing voice always to the fore and there was always a consistency to her gentleness and the home was always filled with a climate of kindness where every mind felt free to express themselves in seeking their own direction. We can all say that there were many things we could and should have said but under her compassionate heart words were never wanted. We can all go on and on about our wonderful mothers. I think they will be happy enough today if we silently hold their hearts in our prayers and wish all mothers a happy mothers day. Continue to pray, bless and power healing to all people especially the mothers and wear a smile for them.
