“Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you.Exodus 20:12It is Mother’s Day . Not everyone looks forward to this day.Some moms are in prison. Some moms are deceased. Some moms have abandoned their children. Some moms are in custody battles for their children. Some moms are drug addicts or alcoholics. Some moms are estranged from their children. Some want to be moms but can’t conceive. I am painting this picture to let you know this isn’t a jolly jump for joy day for everyone so try to be sensitive to that.But for those of you not in those categories enjoy the day. Hallmark loves this day so do florists and candy stores. It is a day for moms to reflect on what it means to be a mom and what a sheer blessing it is through all the ups and downs and screwups too. For those of you dealing with pain only God can truly understand lean in and talk to Him today.PRAYER: Lord today be with those heart broken moms who have lost children to death or suicide and comfort them as only you can. Be with all new moms to delight in their children and with older moms whose children have strayed to not blame themselves. Thanks for the miracle of giving birth. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
