Joyfully Honor Your Mother...EVERY DAY!


              Have you had your Joy Juice today?  Yesterday we celebrated Mother’s Day.  My personal definition of a good mother is one who continually bathes her children in the Joy Juice of Jesus! 

                 Exodus 20:12 tells us to “Honor our father and our mother.” Though we have a day set aside to specifically do that...this should be something we do continually…every day of the year. 

        Today let’s focus on ways to honor our mothers. God blesses our homes when we respect our moms with our words, attitudes, and actions. In-Touch Ministries suggests the following ways to honor our mother: 

·         LOVE HER UNCONDITIONALLY. We’re called to love our moms as God does. He didn’t qualify His love with expectations or conditions to be met first. He lavished affection on us “while we were yet sinners” (Romans 5:8).

·         FORGIVE HER COMPASSIONATELY.  News flash!! Mothers are not perfect…neither are we! At times we’ll have to forgive one another. Remember, moms get tired….but they still love. Let’s be compassionate and understanding.  

·         REMEMBER HER GRATEFULLY.  On Mother’s Day and throughout the year, show your appreciation for all she has done for you.   

·         TREAT HER KINDLY. Let your mother know she’s valued. Take time to listen attentively to her words, and help her out when she is in need. 

What a gift of joy our mothers are to us.  Let’s constantly tell our moms that we love and appreciate them! Hopefully, that will fill their hearts with a special kind of joy.
