Absorbing God’s Word
“Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.” Proverbs 31:31
Applying God’s Word
I was blessed to have an incredible mom. She usually had a hundred things going on, but handled them all very well. My late wife Joanne, my present wife Louise, Louise’s daughter’s Annie and Grace along with my daughter Jackie are all women cut from that same wonderful fabric.
Last Sunday, Louise and I attended my oldest granddaughter’s graduation from the University of Portland. Louise sacrificed being at the graduation to prepare for my granddaughter’s graduation party. My daughter made arrangements for flights, living accommodations and transportation. She provided the graduation tickets, made reservations at restaurants and took care of the many other details to insure everything went well.
There’s no job more important than that of a mother. Therefore, I give honor and praise to all mothers for what their hands have done.
Accounting of God’s Word
Have I taken the time to honor the person who has been an important mother figure to me?
