Behold Your Mother!

By Andrew Beasley 5 years old – Mom, I love you 12 years old – Mom, I can’t stand you 16 years old – My mother is very annoying 18 years old – I’m leaving this house 25 years old – Mom, you were right. 30 years old – I want to go to my mom’s house 50 years old – I don’t want to lose my mother 70 years old – I would give up everything to have my mom here with me.     The importance of a mother cannot be understated and taking one day out of each year to honor the impact that mothers have on the lives of their children is not nearly enough.     In the most challenging hours of his human life, Jesus looked to His mother to make sure that she would be cared for. Think about that. With the weight of the sins of the world upon Him, the abuse of the Roman scourge having marked Him and the agony of the Roman cross encompassing Him, Christ still made provision for His mother.     That does not happen without a mother who had been a great blessing to Him.     So today we honor our mothers, and we thank you for every single blessing you have gifted your children with throughout their lives.
