In anticipation of Mother’s Day weekend, I want to share a sweet video with you that celebrates moms:

You know, as Christians, we should all be living lives worth emulating, because our lives should reflect Jesus Christ.
But that reality – that others are watching us – is especially true for parents. Our children (yes, including the older ones) watch our every move and even tend to mimic our words and behaviors.
And that’s one reason why I thank the Lord for godly moms.
There exist few examples of people worth emulating more than a Jesus-loving mom caring for her child. Everyday these women serve their sons and daughters with love and humility, listening to their hearts, tending to their physical needs, and preparing them for the future.
Moms sacrifice for their children, protect them, and nurture them. They discipline, counsel, encourage, teach, nurse back to health, and do a thousand thankless chores.
It’s no wonder we love moms so much. It’s no wonder we want to be like them.
Happy Mother’s Day to all moms. I pray the Lord impresses on your heart the immensity and importance of what you do.
