May she who gave you birth be happy.

Proverbs 23:25 NLT Bible

On this special day we pay tribute to mothers everywhere and celebrate the love and sacrifice they've shown over and over again for their children. Today, mothers are being showered with gifts, phone calls, cards, dinners and visits and while these things are greatly appreciated, they are not the things that make a mother truly happy.

Mothers are happy when they know that they are loved, honoured, respected and appreciated by their children. They are overjoyed when their children love, obey and serve God and hold fast to the beliefs they lovingly instilled in them. This day also evokes mixed feelings for many who no longer have their mothers with them, and for others coping with complex and troubled relationships. Whatever it may be, we have a duty to love our mothers and do all we can to ensure that they are happy. 

Thank you, Lord, for mothers everywhere. Bless them with strength, wisdom and courage. Help them to bring up their children to love and obey you. I love you, Jesus. Amen!

Be Blessed!
