When Jesus was about to leave the earth to go back to the Father, Philip asked Him, "Lord, show us the Father...(John 14: 8). Jesus said, "He who as seen Me, has seen the Father." (John 14: 9)
If you were to ask me, "Show me your Mother, " I would say to you....He who has seen my mother...has seen Jesus....
"Jesus got up from supper, and laid aside His garments, and taking a towel, He girded Himself. Then He poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples feet and to wipe them with the towel which He was girded. "You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am. If I then, the Lord and the teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. For I gave you an example that you also should do as I did to you." John 13: 1-17.
Mother has the heart and the actions of a servant....she has walked with the Teacher....she has walked with the Lord....
There is an indention on her couch...where she sits..... and reads....and meditates........and prays......She is a faithful student of the Word....a faithful teacher of the Word.....a faithful doer of the Word.....Mother is a faithful Christian, wife, mother to four, grandmother to nine, friend, and neighbor. She is a talented pianist, cook, seamstress, schoolteacher, and homemaker. She is witty, intelligent, creative and fun.
Mother is everything a mother should be...and more......
Forty nine years ago....God blessed me...by placing me inside the womb of a 18 year old teenage girl....I have never seen anything but love in her eyes........She is my cheerleader, my encourager, my mentor...my friend......
A Proverbs 31 lady, I count it a priviledge to be her daughter. Though she will humbly tell me that I have raved way too much, I can only tell you and her that there will never be enough or even adequate words to describe the heigth and width and depth and breadth of who she is, and the impact she has had on my life!
Thank you, God...for Faith.....Thank you for my mother!
Happy Mother's Day, Mother...thank you....for everything!
I love you!
