Mother’s Day Gift

I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.
(3 John 4 – ESV)

We treat Mother’s Day as special and it is but it only becomes personally special when we put our person into it. A mother can know it is Mother’s Day and know her children love her but she can only feel their appreciation if they make the effort to let her know about it. Their mother may be special to them but on Mother’s Day they let her know that they think she is worthy of special recognition. People set aside special things for that special day. Mother’s Day is for us to remember that the relationship with our mother, although different now if we are married, older, and have children of our own, the relationship is still valuable and precious.

In a sense, Mother’s Day is actually a celebration of children; that is what makes a mother a mother, after all. You are her Mothers Day gift. Give her you; she gave birth to your life and/or life to your years, now bring your life back to her. Mothers want their children to be safe, to be happy, to be healthy, and these are all good things to want for our children. But to be holy, to know God, this is the greatest true safety, the greatest true satisfaction, the greatest true rest that any mother could ever wish for her children. If your mother is a Christian then the greatest Mother’s Day gift you can give to your mother is to let her see that you are walking with God. To see you saved would provide her the greatest comfort, the greatest joy, and the greatest peace.
