Honour your father and mother. Then you will live a long, full life in the land the Lord your God is giving you.”

Exodus 20:12 NLT Bible 

This verse speaks about honouring our parents, but today I’d like to focus on what it means to honour and revere our mothers. On this day, millions of people who are privileged to have their mothers be part of their lives are celebrating them with cards, flowers and gifts. These are all worthy gestures; however, how can we really honour our mothers with the things that matter the most? We have to love her unconditionally, respect her, listen to her, let her know how special she is, care deeply for her, spend ‘quality’ time with her and above all pray for her.

As this verse tells us, when we honour and respect our mothers, we will have long and satisfying lives. Life can be very difficult for mothers as they juggle the demands of everyone and everything around them. In fact, it can be quite overwhelming at times. Mothers aren’t perfect. They make mistakes, but God’s command is still for us to honour them and we can do so both in tangible and intangible ways. Many of us have mothers who are no longer with us, but today we can honour their memory and the love and invaluable lessons they shared with us. On this special day and always, we must endeavour to honour our mothers.

Thank you Lord for mothers everywhere. Let me always love and respect her and make her feel valued and appreciated. Bless her Lord, keep her strong and healthy, watch over her and keep her safe. I love you, Jesus. Amen! 

Be Blessed!
