May God bless you today. Happy Mother’s Day to all who have the joy of being a Mother.
This day may bring some sadness to those who have not been able to have children. May God bless you and bring a special blessing into your life today.
The Bible verse today is a prayer that God will bless you and may His face shine on you all.
The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
1914, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed Mother’s Day a national holiday to be celebrated every year on the second Sunday of May. He recognized that mothers are the backbone of society.
The Bible tells us to train up a child in the way he should go, and he will not depart from it.
Your Mom is the biggest influence in your life since childhood. Tomorrow is a great opportunity to honor her and tell her thank you, if you are blessed to have her still with you. If she has passed on, honor her memory.
This happy couple has 5 children. Michelle is a good example to her children.
Children need from their moms, a good example. First she must love the Lord with all her heart.
Then next, she must show respect and love for her husband.
Children who have a good example set before the feel love and security no matter what the circumstance around them.
An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels. The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will have no lack of gain. She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life. Proverbs 21:10-12
Mother, you have the greatest blessing from God, next to your salvation, in your children. Today, even if they have disappointed you or seem to be a burden, remember that God gave them to you to bring them up to serve Him.
Sometimes it is hard and feels like an impossible job, but God is with you to give you wisdom, grace and love for them.
So today, give them your time, kind words and a special hug. You have the greatest gift in them.
A mother has the most influence on a child’s life. What she says and does teaches her children on how they should speak and act.
As Christian moms we should teach our children the Word of God from the beginning of their lives. We start by singing songs about Jesus. Read them stories from the Bible. Most of all pray with them and for them.
Our words are so important!! Speak softly and kindly. Listen to them. Be careful to encourage and not set a bad example by harsh or unkind words.
Being a mother is the most important job in the world. We never know what our children will become. We may be training that child to be great for God. A little girl who could influence a country like Esther, or a little boy a great leader like Moses.
Jesus! In God’s Word, the Bible, Jesus has many names. He is the beginning and the end.
If we don’t know anything else, the one thing we must know and believe to have eternal life is that Jesus died on the cross, He was buried and 3 days later He rose from the dead.
Once we know and accept Him all the other things that He is will become clear.
Jesus is our rock, our advocate, our redeemer and friend. Look at some of Hiss names in the image above and Praise Him for all He has done.
1 Corinthians 6:11 – And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
Have you ever been away from your home and felt homesick?
As Christians we should be longing for our permanent home which is Heaven. The cares of this life overwhelm us at times.
Even in good times, like getting married or having a new baby, we should still have a desire to look to our heavenly home, Heaven.
Think about the joy of seeing our Savior, Jesus! Reunion with loved ones who have gone on before us. Not to mention the wonderful plans Jesus has for us that we cannot even imagine.
Whatever your weather is where you are, stormy, cold, hot, or beautiful, one thing we need to do is praise the Lord.
God is with you today. It may not be physical weather outside that concerns you, it may be a situation or turmoil within. Whatever you need, God is with you to bring into your life sunny weather.
Praise Him as if the day is sunny already and He will give you peace and joy!
Carolyn Curtis, cofounder of SOS Events, had a surprise blessing. Her desire was to see in person her new great granddaughter. It just didn’t work out. Now the baby is six months old and still not much hope of seeing her anytime soon. Most of her grandchildren live a great distance away. This grandson is a missionary to Ireland and they only get to the USA about every 4 years.
She had opportunity to travel to Virginia from Florida to speak at a woman’s meeting. She had no idea her grandson had been speaking at the same church on Wednesday.
What a surprise, when she got to the Pastors home her grandson and family were there. What a great blessing from the Lord!
All the great grandchildren are special but it was a wonderful blessing to get to see one of the newest member of the family.
(Just a note of explanation. Carolyn has 40 grandchildren and 43 great grandchildren.)
Thinking of something to encourage those who read this blog, I chose a book on hymns, “Then Sings My Soul” by Robert J. Morgan. He wrote a forward “The Cure For Shot Nerves”. Thinking that is a catchy title, I read what he wrote about how the old hymns can calm the spirit and help bring peace to the soul.
It is rare in some churches to even hear the old hymns anymore and that is sad. “In the Garden” He walks with me/ and He talks with me/ and tells me I am His own. “Jesus Loves Me”, “Amazing Grace”, “I Need Thee Every Hour” and many more that encourage the heart.
Today, if you are stressed, feeling overwhelmed, or just plan discouraged, think of your favorite hymn and sing it, hum it or just let it flood your mind with how good God is, and soon you will find the comfort you need.
