I remember when I was trying to find a birthday card for my younger brother and as I was looking, I came across some cards for Mother's Day. I thought of the times I looked for a card for my mother, but I also remembered a few times that I almost forgot. I felt ashamed for the times that I didn’t show her the recognition that she deserved. Mothers are a special gift from God for the family. They have shown us that special love, unconditional and sacrificial repeatedly. Just as our mothers have shown us that unconditional love, God has also shown us a special unconditional love, (John 3:16, Romans 5:8, Psalm 36:5&7). We are to show our mother’s love and respect, (Exodus 20:12) just as we are to make extra sure we love and respect God, (Deuteronomy 6:5). This week, if possible, let’s call or send a card or flowers, take them to dinner or go visit them. We may even make our own little card that tells them how much we love and appreciate them. It may not be our mother but a stepmother, mother-in-law, grandmother, great-grandmother or just someone that is special in our life. We could offer up a prayer to God for those that have shown us that special unconditional love. We might go to Church with them or take them to Church with us. Just don’t forget them! See you in Church next Sunday.
