Proverbs 31: 25-30 Strength and dignity are her clothing and her position is strong and secure; And she smiles at the future [knowing that she and her family are prepared]. She opens her mouth in [skillful and godly] wisdom, And the teaching of kindness is on her tongue [giving counsel and instruction]. She looks well to how things go in her household, And does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and call her blessed (happy, prosperous, to be admired); Her husband also, and he praises her, saying, “Many daughters have done nobly, and well [with the strength of character that is steadfast in goodness], But you excel them all.” Charm and grace are deceptive, and [superficial] beauty is vain, But a woman who fears the Lord [reverently worshiping, obeying, serving, and trusting Him with awe-filled respect], she shall be praised.
I do not know anything that is more precious than a Mother. The giver and sustainer of life, she nourishes the body and soul, a pillar of strength and humility, Mother is the only one who can soothe the hurt, ease the pain, impart wisdom, and encourage you to chase your dreams simultaneously.
Mother is a rare breed and unique calling and those that are so blessed sacrifice much and receive far too little praise. She is guided by faith, cloaked in honor, her influence transcends time and space, a humble spirit never seeking accolades or recognition, and her greatest success is to see her children blessed. Mothers have a special gift and can literally bring heaven to earth!
Today and every day, I am so thankful for my very own Mother whom I adore and cherish and has shown me what love looks like. A quiet woman with an unyielding will, my Mother has exemplified a Godly Mother in more ways than one and for that, I am earthly thankful and eternally blessed. And to my Angel Mother, my Mother-In-Law… if only I could thank you for the blessing of my wife and all you have given me from Heaven above. Thank you for loving me enough to orchestrate this union. I can never express enough the love I have for you and all you mean to me. To my Grandmothers, thank you for being the rocks of our family and for demonstrating the power of a praying woman! Because of you I now know what the fervent prayer of a righteous person looks like. Thank you keeping me safe even when I strayed. To my aunts, godmothers, and every mother-figure that has poured into my life and loved me as their own, thank you. I am who I am because of you and the sacrifices you have made, the love you have shown, and the wisdom you have instilled.
Happy Mother’s Day to you ALL!
Definitely… Without a shadow of a doubt… 100% bonafide and true, God blessed us all when He made you
God took a look at His masterpiece, broke the mold and threw out the design
Said to Himself, this is beauty personified, magnificence divine
Delighted in His work, He breathe life into you and said go shine… ©BrotherWord
