A Mother's Heart - A Heart of Love
The love and forgiveness that comes from a Mother’s heart
is like none other in the whole world. Only God’s love exceeds a Mother’s love!
There is no gift or expression that can compensate or honor her enough in one
day alone. A special tribute and day should be set-aside for her as the US and
other countries have done; but she should have so much more recognition as she
does so much more. A Mother goes through travailing pains of birth as she
delivered each of us into this world, so honor is due her for just that alone.
With each passing day layer upon layer of love is heaped upon most children. For
return what should be given to a Mother on her special Day? Not just accolades
of “Thanks” in words alone, although they will be appreciated, but “Prayers of
blessings spoken” and gifts from your hands and gifts from your heart along with
hugs and kisses!
I encourage you to cherish her early childhood instructions about life (as King
Solomon did) and remember her teachings to follow Christ as Savior. There are
many examples portraying “Mother” in the Bible, Eunice, Mary, Naomi, Hannah, and
the list goes on, perhaps your own Mother’s name could be etched into those
pages along with the story of her life if opportunity had been given.
"Mothers, may this be the best Mother’s Day you have ever had and the beginning
of a stronger flow of love and appreciation from your children and Dads."
Love and prayers,
~ Pastor Roberts
