“A wife of noble character; who can find?
She is worth far more than rubies.
Her children arise and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her.
Give her the reward she has earned…”
(Proverbs 31:10-31)
This Sunday is Mother’s Day. It is certainly appropriate to take some time to honor moms. Here are a few thoughts from a book by Max Lucado entitled, “God Thinks You’re Wonderful, Mom!”
Some things only a mom can do…
- Only a mother can powder a baby’s behind with one hand and hold the phone with the other.
- Only a mom can discern which teen is entering the door just by the sound of the key in lock.
- Only a mom can spend a day wiping noses, laundering enough socks for the Yankees, balancing a checkbook down to $1.27, and still mean it when she thanks God for her kids.
Some things only a mom can fix…
- Like Hamburger Helper without the hamburger
- Like the cabinet door her husband couldn’t & his bruised ego when he found out she could.
- Broken shoelace? Broken heart? Breaking out on your face? Breaking up with your sweetheart? Moms can handle that.
Some things only a mom can know…
- The time it takes to drive from piano lessons to Little League practice.
- How many pizzas you need for a middle school sleepover.
- How many weight watcher points are left in a day and days are left in the semester.
Moms are a breed apart!
God certainly did his best creative work when He created moms. Be sure to take some time to honor your mom this week. And, if you are a mom – thanks for your unselfish, unconditional, and undying love. May God richly bless you!
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thanks for your perfect plan of marriage and family.
Thanks for my mom. May you bless her this week in some special way.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
