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. Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her works praise her in the gates.Proverbs 31:28-31 (ESV)
Motherhood is one of God’s greatest gifts to humanity. A loving, God-fearing, mother is an indispensable person in our development. Children learn the virtues of sacrifice, sharing, valuing others, compassion, how to live together in peace. Her Husband praises her for virtues, wisdom, and great compassion. This Mother's Day, let’s take the time to say thanks to our mothers in a special way. She isn't perfect, but she gave you life and unconditional Love. She sacrificed for you and did what she could to prepare you to be a loving, caring person.
Abba Father, thank You for creating mothers; they are one of your greatest blessings. Thank You for their sacrifice and unconditional love to nurture and prepare us to become good children of our generation and the generation to come. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
Dante Quinto
