Mother's Day Poem

I know Mother's day has come and gone by the time you read this, but I think we always ought to honor our mothers daily...mine especially. The following was written on Mom's day for Mom and my Grandma, then distributed at a local Assisted Living home where the Gospel was proclaimed. So here it is, its short, as well as this post which you all are probably thankful for.

LORD GIVE US MOTHERS

By Jon Browning

Lord give us Mothers of the highest integrity,

So men may see the soul’s strength and unfeigned purity.

Lord give us Mothers of which possess the boldest faith, that we may learn from them of whom they trust for their precious one’s sake.

Lord give us Mothers who sacrifice their own self, that no comfort or joy is spared for our own being and our own health.

Lord give us Mothers who others as examples look unto, that many might pattern their lives and thereby encounter You.

Lord give us Mothers that bear our sorrows and joy for the coming day, who take time for our problems and gladly help us on our way.

Lord give us Mothers who constantly pray, that when we go near or far we are upheld by Thy Hand no matter what comes our way.

Lord give us Mothers who we are proud to call our own, when all of life has ceased may they be richly rewarded before Thy Holy Throne.

Thank you Lord that the Mothers in our lives, bless each exponentially more than they realize. If we have mothers amoung our family which do not know You as Lord and Saviour, may this year be the year which their eternal direction is changed forever. In Your Name, most Holy. Amen.
