The Blessings of a Good Mom

Happy Mother’s Day! In light of today’s annual celebration of mothers, this blog goes out to all mothers!

Oftentimes, the work of a parent goes unnoticed or it is taken for granted. Moms are a wonderful blessing, plain and simple. An intentional and hardworking mom is something to cherish and appreciate.

A good mom provides invaluable resources for her children: wisdom, love, nurturing, friendship, a sounding board, and so much more! Moms typically have a very unique and special way of connecting and directing their children. There seems to be an extra level of love and gentleness in everything that they do for their children and the ones that they love.

Proverbs 31, in the Bible, provides an awesome example of the character traits of a godly and hard-working mother and wife. Some of these traits include: she is rare and unique, she plans ahead, she is strong, she is not lazy, she is willing to help others, she has good character and integrity. This combination of action and character is powerful and influential. Imagine a child or husband with this kind of mother or wife. What kind of impact and influence they would have, in their house, and on future generations!

A mother’s impact and influence literally shapes and impacts the lives of others. Her children and husband are blessed by her presence and actions. Her impact and influence will shape generations. Moms are an incredible blessing and have an incredible capacity for love, service, and sacrifice.

If you are a mom, keep in mind the incredible impact that you can have in your lifetime. Keep up the good work! If your mom is still alive, make sure you take time to thank her for the incredible job she has done. Happy Mother’s Day!
