Reflections on Mother's Day

2 Timothy 1:5

I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also.

Paul reminds his disciple Timothy that his faith has an origin.  Because
of the example of his mother and grandmother, Timothy became a great preacher and missionary of the early church.

This month, we will observe Mother's Day, a tradition that the church has embraced because of the high regard for mothers/parents in the bible.  (As I child, I sure was motivated to honor my father and mother so that my days would be long!)

However, we live in a generation and society in which all mothers are not like Eunice and Lois.  They do not provide their children the example they need to grow into people of faith.  Mother's Day may be a bittersweet day for those who have very few fond memories of mother.

But our biological mothers are not the only mothers around.  Many people have spiritual mothers and "adopted" mothers who have stood in the gap when they did not have the nurture and care needed.

Mark 3:35 reminds us For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother. So, this Mother's Day, if you are in need of a "mother", find someone who loves and serves God and learn all you can from them.  If you are a woman of faith BE a mother to someone who needs you to show them God's love and care.

This Mother's Day,we all can play a role in modeling what God must have had in mind when He created mothers!
