Bread for the Journey

Thoughts on Mothers Day
My mother is now in her Heavenly Home, but I'd like to dedicate the following verses to her.

I give thanks to God always for you (Mom), making mention of you in my prayers, remembering without ceasing your work of faith, labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of our God and Father... 1 Thessalonians 1:1-3


I am so grateful for all my Mom taught me
-not only in practical life skills but above all In choosing what was right in the sight of God.
I encourage those of you whose mothers are still with you
to pray regularly for your moms, thank them often for their self sacrifice
and encourage them by choosing to spend time with them.

In so doing we are pleasing God who placed us in our families
and wants us to honour our parents.


Happy Mothers' Day to each one of you.
