THANK YOU FOR OUR MOTHERS

“Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.  When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!  Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother!  And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.”

John 19:25-27 KJV

Today is Mother’s Day and how thankful we should be to our Heavenly Father for our mothers.  Our mothers aren’t perfect just like we aren’t perfect but they love us.  We may not believe they care about us and love us but they do love us in their own way.  Some mothers can’t show their emotions.

Just as Jesus made sure His mother was taken care of so we should be sure our mothers are taken care of.  The best way to take care of our mothers is to give them to Jesus and allow Him to put His arms of love around them.  My Mother died on Christmas day many years ago and I still miss her. 

Mom did some things and said some things to me that hurt me but I also said and did things that hurt her and broke her heart.  Every time I think about how disrespectful I was to Mom, it breaks my heart.  I’m so glad that God forgives us when we hurt our mothers.  Hopefully, we don’t hurt them on purpose.

Heavenly Father, I pray for every mother in the world.  If they have never invited Jesus into their heart to be their personal Saviour, may this be the day they humble themselves and give their heart to Him.  May they feel the unconditional love You have for them.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
