God Gave Us Mother's!

8 The Lord is gracious, and full of compassion; Slow to anger, and of great mercy. 9 The Lord is good to all: And his tender mercies are over all his works. 10 All thy works shall praise thee, O Lord; And thy saints shall bless thee. 11 They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, And talk of thy power;

“All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel mother.” ― Abraham Lincoln

The most remarkable thing about my mother is that for thirty years she served the family nothing but leftovers. The original meal has never been found.” ― Calvin Trillin

ILLUSTRATION:

Marlene was pulled over by a policeman for speeding. The policeman approached the driver’s door.

"Is there a problem Officer?"

He said, "Madame, you were speeding. Can I see your license please?"

She responded, "I’d give it to you but I don’t have one."

"You don’t have one?"

"I lost it four times for drunk driving."

The policeman was shocked. "I see. Can I see your vehicle registration papers please?"

"I’m sorry, I can’t do that."

"Why not?"

"I stole this car."

The officer said, "Stole it?"

She said, "Yes, and I killed the owner."

At this point the officer got worried. "You what!?"

"He’s in the trunk if you want to see."

The officer looked at her and slowly backed away to his car and called for back up. Within minutes, five police cars showed up, surrounding the car. A senior officer slowly approached the car, clasping his half drawn gun.....

The senior officer asked "Madame, could you step out of your vehicle please!"

Marlene stepped out and said, "Is there a problem, officer?"

"One of my officers told me that you have stolen this car and murdered the owner."

"Murdered the owner?"

The officer responded, "Yes, could you open the trunk of your car please?"

Marlene opened the trunk, revealing nothing.

The officer said, "Is this your car Miss?"

She replied, "Yes," and handed over the registration papers to him.

The officer, understandably, was quite stunned. "One of my officers claims that you do not have a driving license."

Marlene dug in her purse revealing a license and handed it to the officer. The officer examined the license. He looked quite puzzled.

"Thank you Madame.......one of my officers told me you didn’t have a license, stole this car, and murdered the owner."

Marlene replied, "And I bet the liar told you I was speeding, too!”

A mother’s love is something that no one can explain— It is made of deep devotion and of sacrifice and pain. It is endless and unselfish and enduring, come what may, For nothing can destroy it or take that love away. – Helen Steiner Rice –

A mothers influence

“Virtuous” here means a woman of character, a woman of strength, a woman of real ability

McGee, J. V. (1997). Thru the Bible commentary (electronic ed., Vol. 3, p. 102). Nashville: Thomas Nelson.

Proverbs 31:10–13 KJV 1900

10 Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies. 11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, So that he shall have no need of spoil. 12 She will do him good and not evil All the days of her life. 13 She seeketh wool, and flax, And worketh willingly with her hands.

Proverbs 31:26–31 KJV 1900

26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; And in her tongue is the law of kindness. 27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, And eateth not the bread of idleness. 28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; Her husband also, and he praiseth her. 29 Many daughters have done virtuously, But thou excellest them all. 30 Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: But a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised. 31 Give her of the fruit of her hands; And let her own works praise her in the gates.

No man is poor who has a Godly mother. ― Abraham Lincoln

It takes a mother’s love to make a house a home— A place to be remembered no matter where we roam. It takes a mother’s patience to bring a child up right And her courage and her cheerfulness to make a dark day bright. It takes a mother’s thoughtfulness to mend the heart’s deep hurts And her skill and her endurance to mend little socks and shirts. It takes a mother’s kindness to forgive us when we err, To sympathize in trouble and to bow her head in prayer. It takes a mother’s wisdom to recognize our needs And to give us reassurance by her loving words and deeds.

Helen Steiner Rice

Proverbs 20:20 KJV 1900

20 Whoso curseth his father or his mother, His lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness.

Ephesians 6:1–4 KJV 1900

1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. 2 Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) 3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. 4 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

Why God Created Mothers When God created Mothers, He made two loving arms To cradle us and shelter us from the worldly harm. When God created Mothers, He made a pair of hands To care for us and guide us through our choices and our plans. When God created Mothers, He made the warmest heart To understand and give our lives a happy, loving start. Why God created Mothers, is not a mystery. . . He meant to share His love with us and did it perfectly.
