Let’s Give Them a Hand

Genesis 3:20

Synopsis: Mothers are special people. They are the ones we bond with before we even know there is anyone else in the world. Eve, Adam called her because “she would be the mother of all living.” All of us trace our beginnings back to our mother’s womb.

Today we want to especially honor the mothers who are here with us not only for the life they made possible for us but also for the love and sacrifice they extended to us. They have earned our “applauds,” our “assistance,” and our “assurance.”

All moms are not all that they should be any more than all sons and daughters are all that they should be. Maybe your mom is already gone. Be encouraged, there are plenty of “moms” around who would love nothing more than to take you in as one of their own. Maybe, you as a mom have already lost your child or children. Be encouraged there are a lot of sons and daughters around needing your love. Reach out and grab one. Remember, moms don’t have to ask you to be your mom. Blessings!
