Mothers Day 2008
"Virtuous and faithful."
There is no greater honor than to be considered a virtuous mother. It is the title of greatest honor that can be bestowed on any mother.
Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also praises her. Many daughters have done virtuously, but you excel them all. ...She will be rewarded with the fruit of her own hands; and because of her works and deed she will be praised in public places.
Proverbs 31:28-29, 31
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. This does not mean that the woman who cowers in a corner is the one who will be praised. On the contrary, a mother filled with the Holy Spirit will have boldness, confidence and peace that is beyond earthly understanding.
She girds herself with strength, and strengthens herself daily. She perceives that her provision for her family is good: she does not retire early but works diligently to see to the needs of her family, she is not an idle woman.
Proverbs 31:17, 18, 27
