One day for Mothers, out of so many…

Mothers…

Always there when we fall

Ready to pick us up or steer us clear of trouble.

They feed us, clothe us, protect us,

They feel our pain when we hurt,

and always seem to know what’s best for us.

Mothers are ALWAYS RIGHT:

Even if you disagree with them, you know they are right in the long run.

I recall in the Film, “The passion of the Christ” the scene where the young Jesus trips and falls And it was Mama who came running to hold him.

More power than ten thousand angels…

More love than mere man can fathom.

Our comforter when we sorrow,

our nurse when we are injured

Our protector when the world comes against us.

And finally, at that dreadful moment when they must LEAVE us, their concerns are not for themselves, but for the ones they leave behind.

Mamas.

Emissaries of our Lord,

Our Savior and our King.

Used mightily of Him,

Yet, they seem to be so successfully clandestine,  that we never fully realize how much they are there, until they aren’t there anymore.

Take the time to hug your Mama today, even if it’s just over the phone.

If she has gone on ahead of you, take the necessary steps to ensure you see her again on the other side.

It’s what she would have wanted,  and you know she’s always right!

John 19:26-27 (NASB)

26When Jesus then saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing nearby, He said to His mother, “Woman, behold, your son!”

27Then He said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” From that hour the disciple took her into his own household.

Even as he left this world, Jesus left charge of His mother, and charged her- and all of us- with the care of his disciples as well.
This being Mother’s Day, this verse came to mind first thing this morning.

Mothers have spent their lives looking after us, loving us, praying for us. They have tended our broken bones and broken hearts, and our blood is their blood.

Jesus came, because people need a savior. We needed a savior because man has sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God. Mothers are not always exempt from that, and it strains relationships and family dynamics. But just as Jesus’ blood has washed us clean and given us new life, it was our Mother’s blood has given us life to begin with.

We are given charge of them as they had with us. We are to love them, pray for them, encourage them. and extend grace and love to them just as it has been offered and given us, no matter the circumstances, but even moreso for those of us whose Mothers brought the example of life to us.
