“The woman who makes a sweet, beautiful home, filling it with love and prayer and purity, is doing something better than anything else her hands could find to do beneath the skies. A true mother is one of the holiest secrets of home happiness. God sends many beautiful things to this world, many noble gifts, but no blessing is richer than that which He bestows in a mother who has learned love's lessons well and has realized something of the meaning of her sacred calling.”
J.R. Miller

“I learned more about Christianity from my mother than from all the theologians in England.”
John Wesley

This Sunday, we will celebrate our mothers and honor them throughout the service. Mom’s are like shoes in that one size and one style does not fit all. Every mother is different, unique, and specially suited for her family.

However, her work is the same. Men may have the authority in a family, but women have the influence. The mother, more than the father, is the one who molds and shapes those little lives from day one.

A godly woman blesses not just her own children but will influence many others as well.

I think all of us can bring to mind women who have touched our lives and helped us become who we are today. There is just something about the gentle correction and quiet encouragement of a godly woman. As banks guide a river, so “mothers” guide her children, all her children.

I thank God for the gift of mom’s.
