Today has I begin to talk about motherhood, we can not forget how special mother’s are. Mother’s know what God knows about loving their children. The child that says I don’t like what you cooked, or that thing you just made. Is not a child to necessarily dislike. The mother knows the child is demonstrating individuality. Voicing that opinion of likes and dislikes. So when a child comes to their mother and says I do not think you should sky dive, it is not insult. It is not to hurt the momma, but it to say I want to protect you. Yet in all reality, my mother never sky dived, yet I doubt she ever would. Yet I can honestly say I did complained about a few meals over the years, not considering the time it took to cook it. In fact my mother is a marvelous cook. Her handy work perfection. Yet all children lack that appreciation for their mother, until they leave the nest and begin to realize what all their mother did to make their surroundings a home. My Father and Mother came to see me this week. And each passing year I realize how much time is slipping away and each visit I want to hold them a little longer and maybe even go down that road with them for a little while. Yet as adult you realize you have to hold on to the sweet memories, and let the things that were not perfect go. For parents are only humanly perfect and not godly perfect. See even with Christian parents they have the same fallacy as any human, yet often in their children eyes their parents have a form of perfection, because there is no one like their mom and dad. Today as we think of how special our mother’s are, we can not neglect the mother of our Lord and Savior. She watch a perfect baby grow up without mistakes and faults, only to be blessed with other children not so perfect. To raise our Lord she would have been someone extra special to know the uniqueness of His perfection. Jesus first public miracle during his earthly days was seen being done by his mother’s request. Obedient to His mother, yet rebuking her maybe in a teasing way that His time was not yet. Yet Mary sat and watched her Son’s ministry flourish. Hearing both those that approved and those that disproved, only in the third year of his ministry to have her heart broke upon His death. Maybe at some point the shock the horror of that day might of finally faded with the memory of His resurrection and ascension into Heaven. Yet Mary held everything in her heart. What mother would not have. Yet in His final moments of His death, He desired his mother not to be alone. John 19:25-27 KJV (25) Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. (26) When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! (27) Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home. Jesus perhaps by saying to John and to His mother that they were to be family and care for each other, was really speaking to all of us, how we need not to care for just our own mother but mother’s of this world without children and with children. That the greatest gift is love, the greatest sacrifice is love. For Christ died not for just for everyone in the world, but for His Mother, and His disciples. These not being perfect, but in His perfection seeing the need we ourselves have to be with people and to comfort and to care about others in our grief as well as our joy. This mother’s day whether your mother is living or has passed on remember the joy one has given each other. Remember that our Lord wants us to love and to treasure the special love of not only our mother but our father also and our children. Even if you were not raised by your mom, you may have another woman in your life that has been like a mother who cared for you, and that person is just as dear to you. God given you that person to treasure. Let us treasure the women everywhere, who shows those instincts of motherhood. Dear Heavenly Father thank you for mother’s everywhere as well as our own unique Mother, who you blessed us with who gave us birth. Help us to treasure the memories. In Jesus precious name, Amen. |
