Proverbs 14:1 – A wise mom is a builder, and creates something that will bless a lot of people for a long time.
II Timothy 1:5 – Timothy’s mom and grandmother played a major role in his spiritual development. Faith isn’t passed on to the next generation unintentionally. See II Timothy 3:15.
Luke 1:28-38 – Jesus needed a good mom, and Mary was one because of her “maidservant of the Lord” attitude. If the angel had told her God wanted her to just be a typical good mom, she would’ve responded the same way.
Grandmama’s (Lovina’s) example: she didn’t have a lot of education or a lot of resources, but Grandmama cared a lot about people, and the ripple effect of her faithfulness isn’t over yet.
Proverbs 31:28 – We should honor moms by being grateful and helpful.
Mark 6:31 – Reminds us that all servants need a break now and then. Moms shouldn’t have to always play the Martha role.
Even if the rest of us often overlook it or take it for granted, God sees the everyday faithfulness of moms, and He is not going to forget it (Hebrews 6:10).
