If your mother “opens her mouth with wisdom” (Proverbs 31:26), thank her and thank God for her. If your mother helped you know your heavenly Father better, “forsake not your mother’s teaching” (Proverbs 1:8). If God has blessed you with a godly wife, know that “she is far more precious than jewels” (Proverbs 31:10).
George Washington testified: “My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw. All I am I owe to my mother. I attribute all my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical education I received from her.”
Abraham Lincoln agreed: “All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel Mother.” As did Charles Spurgeon: “I cannot tell you how much I owe to the solemn word of my good mother.”
Like them, I will forever be grateful for my godly wife and her eternal influence on our family.
Planting trees they’ll never sit under
If your mother is with our Father, thank him for her life and legacy. If she is on this side of glory, thank her for the gift of your life and her love.
It’s been said that great people plant trees they’ll never sit under.
