Rarely do we honor quite as
fully as we should. We sometimes chaff at the authority that requires our honor.
Or, we seek to please the authority simply for our own benefit. Small children
are perhaps the worst offenders, often immature and selfish, only wanting,
seldom giving, sometimes, though, perhaps giving by mistake. But the parent takes
great joy in the selfish child and that joy produces one who honors in due
season.
The Bible calls us to honor our fathers and mothers
and God gives us a promise that we might live long and prosper on the Earth.
Sometimes we have to work at honoring father and mother, especially if they
have wounded us deeply. But all of you must honor your mothers here on Earth
for at least one great reason. It is also the one great reason we honor our
Father who is in Heaven.
Quite simply, no mother, no you. She is creator and life
giver. You owe her the very breath you breathe, the thoughts you form, the
actions you make. So, let us at least start there, giving her honor for making
us, for carrying us in her womb, for giving us birth, for giving us a chance to
be in this place on this day to bless and honor our Father who is in Heaven.
God bless our mothers here on Earth.
