Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. Proverbs 31:30
Today is Mother’s Day. Happy for some and bittersweet for others. It is no question mother’s don’t just birth babies but play a huge role in their upbringing and development. This is a job not to be taken lightly. (Don’t worry dad’s, I will focus on you on Father’s Day as you are equally important).
If your mom is alive be sure to call her today, even if she is hard of hearing or my not know who you are due to failing memory. If you are blessed to be together say a big thank you. My mom is 93 and was a wonderful mom who I love much. And have fond memories with. If you had a mom not so stellar try to focus on good and attempt to forgive those who did bad stuff. Don’t harbor resentment and grudges.
I give a shout out to my daughter in law on this her first Mother’s Day and for the gift of a precious 6 month old granddaughter. The best gift Moms could give their children is to be vigilant in prayer. Don’t let the world and culture shape them. Give them to God early on and stay on your knees as they grow up and beyond. Happy Mother’s Day!
PRAYER: The gift of life is amazing. The forming of God’s beautiful creation in the womb and the blessing of childbirth itself. I pray for those this day who have lost children or who have guilt over abortions. I pray for healing to occur among those whose moms abandoned them. Let joy take over where there was hurt. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
