Mum, You’re a Blessing!

“Honour your father & mother”-which is the first commandment with a promise-“so that it may go well with you & that you may enjoy long life on the earth.

‘ Ephesians 6:1-3 NIV

When it comes to motherhood, the above sign on a church bulletin board says it all: If evolution is true, how come mothers still only have two hands?

Seriously, Mum, today we stop to salute you and let you know how much we appreciate you. Some days you probably wonder if what you’re doing even matters. Your work is never done… you’re always exhausted… and there’s no big financial reward. We live in an age that seems to diminish service and exalt glitz… sometimes it’s hard to value your investment. But hear this: God says you’re highly esteemed by Him, and that children are some of His most precious gifts (see Psalm 127:3). A godly mother is described by her family: ‘Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all.‘ So Mum, while your role isn’t defined by a pay cheque or a promotion, you’re vitally important to your family and your children’s physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Nobody can take your place! Samuel was one of Israel’s greatest prophets, but who was the driving force in his life? His mother, Hannah! When Samuel was born, she said, I am giving him to the Lord as long as he lives.’ (1 Samuel 1:28 TLB) Mother, you matter more than you know. God is moulding tomorrow’s leaders in your hands.
