Mother’s Day

Happy Mother’s Day to all those providing mother relationships to the world. Moms, mom-in-laws, wives, sisters, daughters, nieces, cousins, aunts, friends, mentors, and neighbors…

Proverbs provides us a picture of these mother influences.

Proverbs 31:25-29

Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come. She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. She looks well to the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.  Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her “Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all.”

And in Isaiah we see the loving comfort of God and the loving comfort provided by our mother influences. 

Isaiah 66:12a, 13a, 14a

For thus says the LORD:

As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you…

You shall see, and your heart shall rejoice…

This day I see and I am thankful and rejoicing for all the strong, wise, kind and caring mother influences in my life. 

Grace and Peace!
