Mother's Day

Mother’s Day – and so much to say for moms! We can start with “thank you!” Wow, when a woman becomes a mother, she buys into a life-long commitment that like no other! I don’t know that my mother could envision all the challenges of having the two boys that she had, but whenever those challenges arose – she was there! I’d imagine I stretched my mom’s faith in God because without that she would have lost her sanity. Many were the times when I thoughtlessly took advantage of her gentle spirit and servant heart. I can think of conversation after conversation where I failed to say “thanks for all you do.” And yet, she kept on giving. My mom gave of herself to her sons and her husband until the day she went to be with the Lord. She is one of the greatest examples I know of a mother and wife.
    I’m blessed to be married to another great example! More than any person I know, my wife is a consistent example of one who spends time with God and in the Word. Her influence on our family is powerful – and it is a great influence because she is influenced by the Lord! To honor those who answer by the name “mother” is a great thing to do today. There is, without doubt, no greater personal influence. “…a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.”  Proverbs 31:30
