♕ Today's Promise: “...do not forsake your mother’s teaching; indeed, they are a graceful wreath to your head, and ornaments about your neck.” Proverbs 1:8.
We all know children and even mothers who need to be mothered. In honor of my own mother, Grace McGovern, I want to dedicate this short reminder (or maybe it’s a revelation to some of you) that whether or not you have children or you don’t have your children living with you, If you ask Him for the opportunity to mother someone who needs to be mothered, I guarantee that He will open up an opportunity and show you just how much this particular "Love" (from a woman who is designed to mother) means to so many.
My mother mothered everyone! I was blessed to witness my own mother mothering everyone as well as Great Grandma Brown, who was a "grandmother" to everyone!
My mother, Grace, had a car; nevertheless, she used to take the bus in order to wait at the bus stop and also sit next to young mothers she could sense needed to be mothered. She would make sure to touch their arm or take their hand when they would start to cry, and often embrace them. She would tell them what a good mother they were (when often what she witnessed wasn't the best, but she believed it would encourage them to want to be a better mother).
Please, SSG (Noticed the additional S to emphasize that it’s simple to seek God and ask Him?) Then, when He does lead you and you follow His lead "not leaning to your own understanding," please multiply and share your testimony in the comments below. Next year’s Mother’s Day Message will have YOUR story to encourage other mothers!
