At our Mother's Day gathering yesterday, we went around the room and named things that a mother would say . . . or things that our own mothers have said. Of course, there were some like "We'll cross that bridge when we come to it" and "You're a big girl." 😄) But many of the words spoken by our mothers were words of encouragement and words of eternal truth. "Walk with God." Daily devotions. A "thought for the day" (Bible verse) before school.
That is the honorable work of a mother: feeding the hearts and minds of her children with eternal truth.
It’s hard work but the best work.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely!
DeleteSuch joy and love radiating through those sweet smiles, Cheryl. A lovely Mother's Day for you all!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Martha Ellen! I hope that yours was lovely as well!
DeleteOh, yes, that is the best that we can do for our children and to pray. I like the mother and children photos and I love how the napkins match the food. 🥰
ReplyDelete"And to pray" . . . yes!
DeleteThe matching cookies and napkins was accidental, but I loved it!
Lovely family photos. Mothering is not easy at times, but oh, so rewarding.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lorrie! Not easy, but He gives grace!
DeleteThat's the best truth to encourage each other with, eternal truth.
ReplyDeleteGood point, Ellen! It's good for our children and for anyone else!
