Mothers

If women had no children, there would not be mothers, and there would not be children to call the women mothers. But being that God blessed women with children, regardless of whether the women considered themselves blessed or not, the children were ultimately blessed to receive life in this present world from God. Even though some mothers did/do not care for their children, the mere fact that God used them as an instrument to bring that child into the world is a blessing to the child.

In the old days, we were taught to honor our parents so that our days would be long upon the earth, which is scripture. It would be very hard for some to fulfill that command today, to look past all of the hurt and all of the pain and all of the suffering to be obedient to God. But, if you love God, and want to obey Him, He will make the honor of that parent bearable. It is a sacrifice, because you really want to repay your parent for all of the hurt that was brought upon you, but because you love God so much, you will obey Him and honor them.

To that one I talked to this week, continue to honor your parent because it is a good thing. You will be blessed by the Lord for your obedience. Look to the Lord for your strength and good health. Seek God for wisdom and understanding. Read the word of God and pray. There are a lot of things that we don't understand, and a lot of trouble that we can't figure out why we go through, Trouble don't care who he troubles; but God knows all and is willing to help us through. I am so proud of you for what you have done and what you are doing. You are setting a good example for your children. Don't give up!!
