Happy Mother's Day!

Webster's New World Dictionary defines a mother as:  "A woman who has born a child; someone that gives birth to a child; someone who is the source of something."  When you say "mother" to a little child, he usually thinks of her functions first, then her feelings.  A child thinks of being fed, clothed, cleaned, etc.  Motherhood is a bestowed honor, especially when looked at from a Biblical perspective.  There are many things we fail to remember when we think of "motherhood."  Here are just two of them:

• Mothers have needs - These needs grow out of the fact that mothers play a number of roles ---- mother, woman, and wife.
• Mothers meet needs - Mothers are educators, financiers, budget directors, nurses, dietitians, baby-sitters, chauffers, referees, philosophers, dishwashers, and waitresses, just to name a few. 

WOW!  What a terrific position to be in ---- A Christian Mother.  Christian mothers are those who demonstrate genuine faith in Jesus Christ.  Thanks, to all moms who take their God-given responsibilities seriously, for they realize that "the hand that rocks the cradle, rules the world."

"When I call to remembrance the genuine faith that is in you, which first dwelt in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded is in you also" (2 Timothy 1:5).
