MOTHER’S DAY – Celebrating Life and Nurture

Mother’s Day is a wonderful time to celebrate mothers and motherhood. Mothers are the bearers of life. Our mothers are the ones who have given themselves in so many ways so that we as their children can live, and live life well.

1 Thessalonians 2:7-12 the Apostle Paul describes how he and his team of teachers taught the Christian converts at Thessalonica. In this passage he states that being a teacher involves embracing the best attributes of mothering and of fathering. Verses 7 and 8 list several features of motherhood, which are the dynamics of producing well-developed children. Mothers are to be:

• gentle

• nourishing

• loving

• affectionate

• imparters of spirituality

• imparting their very souls or lives

to their children.

In home schooling, the majority of front-line educators are the mothers. Home schooling could not exist without the thousands of mothers who give their lives for this special ministry of educating their children in and around the home and their local community.

We give thanks to God for our mothers – and no wonder we make them a cuppa in bed on Mother’s Day! Let’s show our appreciation to all of our mothers on this special day. Here are some links to sites that have some ideas for making Mother’s Day cards and crafts.
