Mother's Day 5/14/17
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!
Proverbs 31:10 (KJV)
10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
I have been up (PRAISE THE LORD FOR BEING UP!) since 4 AM and I sit here, staring at my computer at 7:45 AM.
What do I know/what can I say about BEING a Mother-I AM a man!!??
I never carried another human being inside my body or gave birth.
I am not/was not divinely equipped or designed by our Creator to house or nurse a child.
I was NOT given the PATIENCE and stamina to sustain a child.
"
PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE-POSSESS IT IF YOU CAN.
SELDOM FOUND IN WOMEN-NEVER FOUND IN MAN!"
Daily, in fact hourly, I observe my loving wife tend to little Amanda's EVERY whim and need and just marvel-HOW does she do it?
A Mother's love is UN-equaled by any power on this earth.
When a woman becomes pregnant, we say she is "EXPECTING."
What is she EXPECTING?
1 Corinthians 13:7 (KJV)
7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
A MOTHER "expects" her child to be great!
A MOTHER refuses to hear or believe anything negative about her child!
Psalm 15:3 (KJV)
3 He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.
"
NOR TAKETH UP A REPROACH AGAINST HIS NEIGHBOR"
REPROACH-from
<H2778>
(charaph);
contumely, disgrace
, the
pudenda
:- rebuke, reproach (-fully), shame.
Strong's Talking Greek & Hebrew Dictionary.
A MOTHER is tireless!
Proverbs 31:18 (KJV)
18 She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.
"
A WOMAN'S WORK IS NEVER DONE!"
Truly, "THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE RULES THE WORLD!"
2 Timothy 1:5 (KJV)
5 When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.
1 Corinthians 4:15 (KJV)
15 For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.
In my lifetime, I have been BLESSED to have more than one MOTHER!
I GRATEFULLY can call to remembrance several WOMEN who have immensely impacted and shaped my life.
TODAY IS YOUR DAY, LADIES!!!
Proverbs 31:25-31 (KJV)
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.
Romans 13:7 (KJV)
7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
TODAY, I humbly give HONOUR to ALL you MOTHERS!!!
