MOM'S
TIME
It's that special time of the year,
where there is a day placed aside to treat our Mothers and this blog
entry is dedicated to all the Mothers out there. Do you know your
first love? (Besides God that is) It's your mother. Do you remember
the time she gave birth to you after some dreadful hours of pain? Do
you remember the times she woke up sick every morning, ate extra just
so you can remain healthy? Do you remember the times although very
sick, she still came and hugged you good night, and made sure
everything was OK with you? Do you remember the sleepless nights you
gave her? Do you remember those nine months she carried you? Of course
you don't.
Having a day placed aside in
commemoration for all the mothers is a fantastic idea in my opinion.
However, just one day is not enough. Every day should be Mother's day
because everyday is Children's day for her. Having a mom, at your
side, through thick and thin, is the best thing anyone can ask for.
She's always there to love you, no matter what you do wrong. She
corrects and disciplines you, which is the right thing to do, yet she
does it with love. She's the best thing a child can ask for. She
drags you out of bed, to get dressed to go to church...That's an
amazing mom!
The following is an interesting piece
of literature I read on God's purpose for motherhood;
“God
uses mothers for the development of the soul-life of their children.
What a different generation of children we would have if only all
mothers, as they fondle their babies, could realize that they have
brought into existence “not sublimated animals, not mere physical
organisms which live and breathe for awhile then pass away, but
through the power of God ... immortality.” Any child resting on a
mother’s breast is “an eternal entity, something that shall never
cease to exist, but live on for weal or for woe forever and ever.”
The
influence of mothers is without comparison or competition. The
church, nations, governments, society depend upon our mothers for
their stability. Within the home, mother is the reigning queen. Thus,
when home life is decadent, every phase of life lacks wholesomeness.
D'Aubigne, the historian, claims that the Reformation was born in the
early years of Martin Luther’s childhood. Behind the monk who shook
the world was the influence of a mother.
Faith
of our mothers, Christian faith,
In
truth beyond our stumbling creeds,
Still
serve the home and save the church,
And
breathe thy spirit through our deeds:
Faith
of our mothers, Christian faith,
We
will be true to thee 'til death.
Yes,
we do well to honor mothers, who are the prime kingdom-builders,
chief soulmoulders, conspicuous character-constructors, and the
foremost recruiting agents for the eternal realms above.”
(BibleGateway)
As
it's Mothers Day time, its essential for us to show our gratitude and
appreciation for our mothers. No matter what, our mom is our mom.
Even if there are falling outs and arguments..Our mom is our Mom.
There's no other who can replace her. She is our rock and strong
fortress. She is the Backbone of every family. She's there to comfort
us and wipe our tears away. She's there to capture every joy and
blessing we've received. There's a promise that God has left us, in
Exodus 20:12 If we honor our Father and Mother, we may live long in
the land the Lord has given us. Honor our parents, Honor our
Fathers and Mothers, or respect those who have taken their roles, out
of the goodness of their hearts.
For
those who have to spend Mothers Day without a Mom, do not look at the
glass as half empty..But I encourage you to look at it half full..
Although your own mother is not there, there are those who fill in
for her..A dad, who plays a mommy's role, or aunts who steps in. Even
other persons who look and take care of you, advise you, encourage
and inspire you...Even God takes that role of loving you
abundantly...
WHAT DOES MOTHER MEAN?
When I was of a young age, I must
say, I had many disagreements with my mother, or rather parents for
that matter. I felt unloved, insecure, neglected. However, later on
in life, I came to realize what my mother did for me, was the best
for me. The friends she told me to stay away from, was ingenious. The
things she told me not to do, was a master plan. At the time I did not
appreciate, or rather did not like it, but as I grew older, I
realized, there is no manual for motherhood. What they do, they do to
the best of their abilities. What they think is right for their child
to grow up in the right direction.
To all the mothers out there, who
think that their children are unruly and a pain.. All I have to say
is never give up on them. You're doing your job. Keep on praying for
them. They will grow to see your efforts someday when they become a
parent to. Set an example for them to follow. They definitely will not see the
importance of your love for them now, but I assure you that they will
see it later on, and appreciate all you that you did for them.
Be a God fearing mother! A mother
who prays keeps her family safe, and together. A mother who does the
will and purpose for God, holds the world in her hands. To mothers
all you have to do, is be the person that God has called you to be.
Its difficult sometimes being a mom, but you can do all things
through Christ who strengthens you! Be a Noble wife. As stated in
Proverbs 31:10-30
“A
wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than
rubies. Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of
value. She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life. She
selects wool and flax and works with eager hands. She is like the
merchant ships, bringing her food from afar. She gets up while it is
still dark; she provides food for her family and portions for her
servant girls. She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings
she plants a vineyard. She sets about her work vigorously; her arms
are strong for her tasks. She sees that her trading is profitable,
and her lamp does not go out at night. In her hand she holds the
distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers. She opens her arms
to the poor and extends her hands to the needy. When it snows, she
has no fear for her household; for all of them are clothed in
scarlet. She makes coverings for her bed; she is clothed in fine
linen and purple. Her husband is respected at the city gate, where he
takes his seat among the elders of the land. She makes linen garments
and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes. She is
clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.
She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the
bread of idleness. Her children arise and call her blessed; her
husband also, and he praises her: "Many women do noble things,
but you surpass them all." Charm is deceptive, and beauty is
fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.”
Be
a woman, mothers who fears the Lord and you shall be praised.
Children appreciate and Love you mothers!
I
hope you all enjoyed this Mother's day special, and hope it was a
blessing to your hearts! Happy Mother's Day to All the Mothers out
there, and may God richly Bless you and May his divine favor be upon
you all!! <3 <3 <3
(HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY MOM!)
