Pastor’s Pen for Sunday, 5-11-25
As we celebrate this blessed Mother’s Day there are so many precious memories of moms taking care of us growing up and even after becoming adults, we dare not forget the upbringing we all received at the loving care of our mothers. Mothers have shaped the world because they shaped the lives of those who rule it. More than anything though is that in our mothers we see the love of God through them. After all, even the Lord draws an analogy between natural parents and their relationship with their children, and our heavenly Father and His relationship with the children of God. Matthew 7:7-11 (KJV):
7
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
8
For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
9
Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
10
Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
11
If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? A mother’s love is priceless, unconditional, and unmatched by any. I was in my yard cleaning up one evening and suddenly a bird flew quite close to me and done it several times and I was like, “What in the world?” Then as I investigated further, I noticed that what was obviously the mother bird, flew back into the hedges where she had a nest with a little one in it. She was protecting her young. I thought to myself, “Wow! That mother bird is willing to fight with a human being 50 times her size to protect her young than to sit idly by while something happens to them.” Awesome. Happy Mother’s Day to all of our wonderful mothers.
