Mother

Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: “ Many daughters have done well, but you excel them all.” (Proverbs 31:28-29

Did you honor your mother today? Are you ready to honor her the rest of the year? I've seen mothers being very defiant to their own mothers, yet they have a young child in their presence. How do we suppose we can be rebellious to our mother yet earn respect from our children?

If you are a mother, remember we are a living example of what we are teaching our children. We cannot teach them one thing with our words, yet our actions do not measure up to our teachings. I remember many years ago I was teaching a class on Proverbs 31 to some young gals in Haiti. After a number of classes on of the girls asked me, "Is this even possible to become a lady as this?" Do you think it is possible? It is a challenge, but if it weren't possible I doubt if it were in God's Word, unless He wanted to show us how far short we are from being the virtuous woman.

Mothers, Never underestimate the power of your prayers for your children! We need to hold our children before the throne on a daily basis!!

To all Mothers: Be faithful, your crown awaits you in Heaven, and Have a wonderful Day with your children and family.

God bless you
