So what did you do for Mother’s Day? Did you go see your Mom, or did your family honor you in some way? Did you receive some pretty flowers to plant in your garden or maybe a pretty card?
Whether you had a good Mother’s Day, or a not so good Mother’s Day, I would like to encourage you. Here is something you need to remember…God thinks mothers are important. He gave women the awesome gift of being able to nurture and to take care of others. Whether you gave birth to your children, or you adopted them, God thinks you are important. There are times when we “mother” people in our lives who are no longer children. We step in and nurture that person and encourage them, and show them a mother’s love. That’s showing a mother’s love, but it is also showing the love of Christ. God thinks that is important, too.
Mother’s Day 2011 is over. The flowers that you received have been planted and the cards that you received have been opened and are being displayed on a shelf. Our families honor us formally one day out of the year, but God thinks what we do as mothers is important every day of the year. He loves his children and blesses us throughout the year. Turn to him in times of joy, in times of sorrow and in times of frustration. He is there and He can be trusted!
