Across the Preacher’s Desk: Mother's Day

Tim PerkinsMay 5, 2022 - In the event you are unaware of what is going on, this coming Sunday is the day set aside in our country as “Mother's Day.” It is that day where we honor our mothers. We honor those who are teachers and disciplinarians. They are cleaning ladies, gardeners and mowers of lawns. And, with all that, they understand that baking cookies is more important than washing windows.

Mothers are nurses and doctors. They are psychologists, counselors, chauffeurs and coaches. They are also developers of personalities, molders of vocabularies and shapers of attitudes.

God commands us in His word to honor our mothers. It is also the sensible and loving thing to do. There are many of us who wish we still had our mothers living so we could honor them. So that we could remember them and love them. You see, while the world is full of mothers, no one can take the place of our own mother.

So, this Sunday, there will be cards, flowers, candy and various gifts showered on mother's in honor of her "special day.” Here's an idea of what you can give your mother for Mother's Day. Go and sit beside her in church this coming Sunday. I know she would like that. You see, all too soon the day will come that you can't sit beside her in church, so do it while you can.

It’s something to think about… tbp
