But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised. -Proverbs 31:30b

This week we have focused on mothers. Today I just wanted to say thank you to my mom and grandmothers who have gone on before me and for my step mom and mother in law for the differences they have made in my life. And thank you to all the mothers out there you have a God honoring job raising children for the Kingdom. I offer this tribute to you:

To all the mothers everywhere who held a child in tender prayer

Who shed her tears on bended knee who prayed her child from sin be free

To every heart that ever broke when harsh words from a child was spoke

To every gentle hand that touched a fevered brow that ached so much

To every mother whose arms are cold as death her child from her stole

And to every mother who’s ever let go and found how fast her babies grow

To everyone who knows the way of staying sane day to day

Who shuttles children here and there who settles fights and soothes their fear

To all the mothers who ever read a Bible story to her child in bed

I want to thank you oh so much for the difference you made for the lives you touch

Praise God for mothers everywhere for seeds they plant through the love they share

The woman who shares the Lord ‘tis true makes a difference in both me and you!

God be praised for mothers! What an honor and a privilege we have been given!

Scripture Proverbs 31:10-31

Lord Jesus, help me be worthy of the name “Mother”. Help me live in a way that  what my children remember most, is Jesus in me. May Your name be praised forever! Amen
