Mother's Day

Mother's Day is now upon us and I hope that you have all thought about what you are going to do to show respect and affection to your mothers. I got my present for my mother in the mail today and am looking forward to giving it to her this weekend. I want to take this opportunity on this blog to say how blessed I have been to have a Godly mother who has been a great example of Christ to her children. Things have not always been easy for our family, but my mom always made sure they were fun. People say that I take after my mother in many ways. I take that as a compliment and do not mind it at all. The older I get, the more I feel like my father though. That too would be a compliment for me. 

I do not know that much about child rearing since I do not have one of my own. But you do not have to be experienced to be knowledgeable of the fact that the role of a mother in a child's life is extremely important. To all of you mothers out there (like Christy Jackson...told you I would put your name in this time...) I want to salute you and tell you that whatever sacrifices you may have to make to see your children become the man and woman of God that they are destined to become is worth it! You have been given a grave responsibility and God is counting on you to be an example of Christ. You do not have to be perfect, just loving. My mother is not and never was perfect. But she lived a life of humility before God that let me know that in her imperfection, God was making her strong. So trust God and let Him show you how to raise your children in the fear and admonition of the Lord. 

Happy Mother's Day
