Hello everyone and welcome to my Spiritual Sundays post! Since this is Mother's Day weekend, I thought it would be appropriate to share a message about mothers.
This one is taken from "Our Daily Bread" and is penned by Bill Crowder.
"The Chester Beatty Library in Dublin, Ireland, houses a wonderful collection of ancient Bible fragments. One very small fragment is a portion of John 19. This piece of John's gospel describes the moment, as Jesus was being crucified, when He spoke to His mother in a display of love and concern for her. The words are from verse 26, where we read, "When Jesus saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, 'Woman, behold your son!' "
As I stared at that ancient fragment, it struck me afresh how tangible Jesus' love was for His mother and friend. How, with clear words, He let the world know of His love and affection by showing His concern that Mary be cared for by His friend John when He was gone. Hanging on the cross, Jesus said to John, " 'Behold your mother!' And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home " {v. 27}.
I think that today, on this Mother's Day, would be a wonderful time to declare publicly your love for your mom if you still have her - or to give thanks to the Lord for her if she is no longer with you. Then show in some tangible ways how much you love her and how much she has meant to you."
GOD BLESS MY MOTHER; ALL I AM OR HOPE TO BE I OWE TO HER. - Abraham Lincoln
Note: For those of you who didn't know, my cousin Cynthia's husband Jim passed away on Thursday of brain cancer. He had been ill about a year. Please pray for Cynthia as she grieves and carries on without him. They had no family.
