I expect there
will be many things posted this weekend in regards to our mothers. My post will
be no different. I will provide scriptures from Proverbs chapter 31 at the end
of my post to honor the women in our lives, whether it be our mothers,
grandmothers our wives (the mother or our children) or a special woman that has
influenced you in some way.
I dedicate this
post to the ladies that read my blog, my mother, grandmother, wife and to my mother-in-law.
I hope and pray these words are uplifting to you. I pray each of you have a
blessed “Mothers Day”.
I realize that as
I write this morning that everyone has not had the same opportunity I have had.
I have and still do (because my mother is still living) a wonderful example of
Godly love given to me by my mother. It is an unconditional love. She made sure
I went to church when I was young and it is something that has stayed with me
my entire life.
I am not trying to
take away from the love of God just simply stating that a Godly mother (woman)
should be praised as it is an extension of Gods love.
Proverbs 31:10-31:
10
|
Who can find
a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
|
11
|
The heart of
her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
|
12
|
She will do
him good and not evil all the days of her life.
|
13
|
She seeketh
wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
|
14
|
She is like
the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
|
15
|
She riseth
also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion
to her maidens.
|
16
|
She
considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth
a vineyard.
|
17
|
She girdeth
her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
|
18
|
She
perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.
|
19
|
She layeth
her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
|
20
|
She
stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the
needy.
|
21
|
She is not
afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with
scarlet.
|
22
|
She maketh
herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.
|
23
|
Her husband
is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.
|
24
|
She maketh
fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
|
25
|
Strength and
honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
|
26
|
She openeth
her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
|
27
|
She looketh
well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
|
28
|
Her children
arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
|
29
|
Many daughters
have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
|
30
|
Favour is
deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall
be praised.
|
31
|
Give her of
the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.
|
As I bring my
remarks to a close this morning I want to say thank you to my mother,
grandmother, wife (who without her I would be incomplete) and to my mother – in
– law. I say thank you for being the special ladies that God put you here to
be. I especially want to thank my wife for be a Godly example to my children.
These ladies are truly a gift from God!
Until next time
may God Bless You!
