"God has a different values system than humans have. He picks common things of the Earth to reveal His glory (1 Corinthians 1:27). The greatest treasure He gave to the world was wrapped in the form of a little baby born in a stable and who slept in a trough."

Our heavenly Father chose Mary, to mother, Jesus. She gave birth to Joseph's children later. Mary is an amazing example of mothering. She trusted God. She prayed. She listened to the Holy Spirit and trusted her husband. She put God first, then others. The life of Mary teaches, preaches and reaches us all, with encouragement. Her faith was remarkable. Warning and wonder, surrounded her. Worship poured from her. She pondered things in her heart. She endured hardship and terrorizing events. She kissed the face of God, wrapped in the form of a baby born in a stable. Let us thank God for the great honor of mothering. May He form and inform our prayers as we rock the cradle, attend graduations, walk in weddings and relentlessly bring our children up, in the Word of God. May we be found, ever faithful.
Mother's Day Blessings to all as we thank God for Mary, who personified, perhaps the strongest story of mothering, ever written
