This coming Sunday is Mother’s Day. A time to celebrate the beautiful ladies that brought us into the world. Sadly, for many it is not a time of celebration but of heartache either because one’s mother is no longer with them, or the memories of childhood were not that great regarding their mother. So, Mother’s Day, like Father’s Day, can be a holiday of mixed feelings. If you did not by chance grow up with a healthy mother then know you are in my prayers this Sunday.
Whatever our background tends to be, I hope this Mother’s Day we can celebrate what God meant mothers to be in the first place, a place of love, nurture, and guidance. If Satan has done anything well in our culture, he has certainly been successful at undermining the family and the importance of parenthood. Both parents, not only mothers, need prayers from a community to help raise their children with Christ centered values and with a faith that is ever expanding as they see faith lived out in the home. Often people say that kids are different these days, but they aren’t. Kids are the same as they have always been, but the environment we raise our kids in from society to the home looks a whole lot different than it used to be. This Sunday my encouragement is to pray for all the mothers out there and celebrate the godly teaching your mother gave you or what you as a mother can give your children. I can honestly say my mother was the most instrumental person in my life in helping me come to faith. She planted the seed that lead to my conversion and has helped water my faith in its growth along the way.
