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.
14 She is like the merchants’ ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
15 She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
16 She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
17 She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
18 She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.
19 She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
20 She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
22 She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.
23 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.
24 She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
25 Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
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.
10. A mother’s job is to pray for her children while they don’t have the words, understanding, or insight to pray for themselves. We stand in the gap, praying for their salvation, gifts, and lives, much like the Spirit prays for us”. As moms, we do a lot to serve our children.
It is an honor to be trusted by the Most High to be responsible for our ‘mini-me’s’ and to make sure that no harm can come to them. We are Mama Bears, Bob Cats, overseers, Leopards and Lionesses for our families. We grind the enemy at every attempt to harm our households. God chose a woman to have His Son, the Savior of the World through a woman who became the Mother of mothers. He could have chosen a different way but He chose a chaste, beautiful virgin to do so. She was clean and young, innocent and humble. She was the perfect conduit from the Earth to His Throne.

A mother is kind and positive, sweet and lovely, humble yet strong, intelligent yet meek, She knows that man is the strongest between the two but she tries her best regardless. She can run her household with her without a man’s presence. She knows that God is her husband and he will not allow her to go through more than what she can handle.
We celebrate this day as Mother’s Day which is a time that we should honor and respect our mothers. And not just a mothers but the grandmother is in the great-grandmother’s as well. There is strength in a mother’s love. There is power in a mother’s love. Put aside any differences that you may have had during the years and hug your mother, give her a kiss or call her and tell her that you love her. She may need to hear that. There are things that she may have gone through throughout the years that you know not of. Without your knowledge she may have suffered in ways unimaginable. I pray that this is a time for all of us to forgive one another and continue on in love is God would have it.
Are you saved?
Call of repentance
If you are not saved just do this, ask Jesus to forgive you of your sins and tell him that you believe that he died on the cross and was raised from the dead the third day. Accept him as your Lord and Savior. Tell him that you love him and thank him. Now go find a Bible believing, spirit fillde church and learn about him because it is never too late. Everything that you did up until this time the Bible says, God throws it as far as the East is from the West and remembers it no more. Don’t do a 360 Do a 180 and change your ways.
The Lord bless you and keep you and make his face shine upon you and give you his grace and his peace. Continue to listen for his voice and he will speak to you and you will hear him. And remember to pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
To God be the glory for the things that he has done.
