A Christian Mother!

As we begin another week of living for Jesus, we look forward to honoring our mothers this coming Sunday on Mother's Day!  I'm thankful for many wonderful memories of my mother, and now I am blessed and privileged to be a mother---a mother-in-law---a grandmother and a great grandmother!!
How very blessed I am!

I trust that this little anonymous poem will speak to the heart of every mother, especially the young mothers who are endeavoring to train their little ones to love and serve Jesus. 

     "God gives us many gifts, but far above any other --- the first and best He gives us is the gift of a
              Christian mother.
      Her head bows over the Scriptures, teaching children from God's Word;
              Her hands are always busy doing service for her Lord.
      Whenever her children need her, they know she's always there.
              Her beauty is in the strength of faith that she daily finds in prayer.
      Her children love and bless her, and in their lives we see the lessons of the Saviour
              that were learned at Mother's knee!"

                                          "Who taught my infant lips to pray,
                                            To love God's holy Word and day;
                                            And walk in wisdom's pleasant way?
                                                    My Mother."

Mother, you are the heart of the home!  May you live so that your children will arise up and call you blessed.
             --Proverbs 31:28
