A Brand New Mother's Day

On our calendars is a date to celebrate mothers.  It is to bring attention to women who have had children.  Correct?  I don’t think so.  There are many women who haven’t been mothers, but they have the motherly instinct built in them.  This comes from our creator.  Maybe you know a woman who loves to do things for people, but doesn’t have children of her own; perhaps a neighbor lady or a “crazy aunt”.  A mother (to me) means a woman who loves taking care of others and puts their needs before hers.  There are many mothers mentioned in the Bible.  Mary, the mother of Jesus, being the most famous.  She had a hard job even though she had the perfect child.  Mary had to teach and train her son in what was right and wrong.  The responsibility of raising children is an enormous endeavor.  Endeavor means to work with a set purpose.  We as mothers have a set purpose in mind.  As our children are born, we start teaching and training from day one.  We do our best to raise them as GOD instructs us.  We have a manual called the Bible to teach us how.  GOD gives us examples throughout His word.  Do not deviate from His wisdom.  We want our little blessings to be saved and live for GOD.  As women of GOD we should seek out newborn babes in Christ to take them under our wing and love and be a mentor to them.  They may not have had a loving mother as they were growing up.  We, as mothers, when we had our first baby, loved that child so much and probably thought we couldn’t love another one as much as we loved the first one.  But we found out we have so much love for all of our children.  GOD’s love is unending, and it is a good thing because he has a lot of children.  When we come to GOD, we should have an unending supply of love.  Sinners are usually saved when they feel the love of GOD drawing on their heart.  Let us love people to GOD.  By GOD’s love they will know us, and by HIS mercy and grace and perfect love they can have eternal life with Him. 

 Let us make a new calendar and add “Love someone to Jesus” day and celebrate it 365 days a year.
