The most heartfelt scene during the death of Christ in the cross of Calvary was when Mary had to come before Jesus’ feet and kissed it. No one could ever imagine how it could’ve felt… the pain that you cannot do anything about.
This simply pictures our mothers of any generation. They are incomparable heroes in their own way. They have things that no one else can do. They have responsibilities no one would wilfully accept. They have routines only them can know how to do efficiently.
Having it all said, there is love that they deserve. Not an ordinary love but love given and shown in 7 Ways:
A. Verbal – a simple assurance of love through words could make her works go easier. Nothing is sweeter than a regular verbal declaration of love for her. Not the flowers, chocolates even money could replace it.
B. Physical – more important than words are gestures to showcase the assurance. As said, action is better than words. Our moms deserve a return of hug, kiss and touch as it can fade away every tiring chores she does everyday. Not to mention that she was the first to do it to us when we were still incapable of ourselves.
C. Patient - . Because she’s tender to your needs is no reason to take advantage of her, it is reason to be patient and to love her all the more!
D. Attentive – Just as how our moms listen to us in full attention everytime we need to talk to her, we have to pay an attentive love to them in return. Not because they are mothers they don’t face worries and issues. At times, they need a rock to take time to listen to them.
E. Grateful – For all that they have done since you were a kid, they just deserve a sincere thank you not just on Mother’s Day but everyday and time it is least expected, from a genuinely grateful heart.
F. Generous – As the cliché goes, the last food she has she is still to feed to her child. Our moms are the most generous giver we can ever encounter. They are the people who never spend time for what they want and give up her opportunities to give the family more opportunities.
G. Honorable – Mothers are the heart of homes, so never break their hearts. In the first place, God took special mention of our parents in the 10 Commandments - a commandment of which has a built in promise of blessing. Exodus 20:12 says, honor your father and mother that your days maybe long upon the land the Lord your God gave you.
Great is our God that He gave us mothers who is more than an ordinary human who could do all things for us, endure all pains for us and risk all things for us. And as to glorify the Lord, who endowed us such a great gift, let us all love our mothers as they deserve.
Happy Mother’s Day!
