Happy Mother's Day




Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come. She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. She looks well to the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: "Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all." Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised (Prov. 31:25-30).

I have been blessed with a mother and grandmothers who fear the Lord. They exhibit strength, dignity, wisdom, kindness, and dedication to the Lord that this passage portrays. Proverbs 1:8-9 instructs, "do not forsake your mother's teaching; indeed, they are a graceful wreath to your head, and ornaments about your neck." I pray I may be adorned with the fruit of their teaching in my own life. As your child, let me this Mother's Day call you all blessed. Thank you for your godly example.
