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.
·
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.
