There are so many things I can praise my mother for. She’s been my guide, my comforter, my friend throughout my life. Her love for her children knows no bounds. She is selfless and has willing sacrificed to provide for her children and so many others. She’s an amazing cook, a talented seamstress, and spits a mean watermelon seed! And don’t even think of challenging her to a water fight!
For all these things I’m thankful, but there is one thing I’m eternally grateful for – the example she’s set for me of what a true Christian should be. Her love for her children, her sacrifices for our comfort, and the joy she finds in life are a constant reminder to me of what Jesus is like. Her daily life has been a continuous reflection of Christ’s love to me, lighting my way from childhood to adulthood.
My own walk with Christ today and the joy I find in His service are in a large part due the example Mom has set me through the years. Because of Mom’s example I can with David say, “I am your servant, Lord; I serve you just as my mother did.” Psalm 116:16.
To have a child chose to love and follow Jesus is the greatest gift any Christian mother could ever receive. This Mother’s Day make your mom the happiest woman on earth – give Jesus your heart! Then go out and serve Him everyday – just like Mom!
I love you Mom! Happy Mother’s Day!
