Will You Be The One?

Easy {or NOT} Mother's Day gifts

So ~ Mother's Day has come and gone for another year.  

Did you get your Mom anything?  Do anything special for her?

Here's some Mother's Day gifts that will keep on giving the whole year through!

1. Honor“Honor your mother and father” is the first “horizontal” commandment given in the Ten Commandments. It’s important. There is a reason why you have the mom that you have. God chose the exact time and place where you would live and the exact family that you would be born into (Acts 17:26).  By respecting and honoring the woman God chose to be your mother, you are respecting His decision to put her there.

2. Forgiveness
   Even the best mom still needs your forgiveness. Forgiveness for not being perfect.  For not being there.  For being there too much. For whatever scars she’s left on your life.  Let’s face it, some moms have done some pretty rotten things.  But God commands forgiveness in the Bible, and it’s not something we’re to withhold just because the person who needs it is our mother.

3. Thanks
   Chances are, your mother has invested many, many hours in you over the course of your lifetime. She deserves your thanks. Thanks for all of the many things she’s done for you.  For the loads of laundry she folded.  For the meals she cooked. For putting up with you.  For keeping you close.  For letting you go.  For any and everything she’s ever done for you.  Do you thank her?  Do you appreciate her?  It’s never too late to tell her how much she means to you!
