WHAT IS A MOTHER?
By: Rev. Dan Minor
“Her children rise up and call her blessed…”
Proverbs 31:28
If it were not for our mothers, none of us would be here! In today’s world a mother may be a mother by biology, by adoption or by being that positive female influence in our lives.
What is a mother?
She is one who loves us.
She is one who nurtures us, cares for us and helps us.
She is one who comforts and understands us, when nobody else can.
She is one who takes time for us.
She read to us when we were children.
She stood behind us both in good times and challenging times.
She corrected us when we were wrong and affirmed us when we were right.
She guided us along the path of life and encouraged us to make our own decisions as we grew older.
She taught us how to respect others.
She taught us good manners.
She taught kindness.
She taught us what it means to be human.
Most of all, she taught us the ways of God.
“Charm is deceitful, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.” (Proverbs 31:30).
