Mother Love: The Strong Tie That Holds the Family Together
by Jennifer Workman
“ A MOTHER IS MORE PRECIOUS THAN ALL THE FINEST OF JEWELS AND WORTHY OF OUR CONTINUAL ADMIRATION.”
“
Wow
,” where do I begin to exemplify all of the great mothers that have left an indelible impression on this earth. I will begin with the“ mothers of all mothers,” Eve. Although Eve’ s life was categorized by disobedience to the clear directive of God and partaking of the“ forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden( Genesis 3:6, NLT),” she is the“ mother of all creation” and from her proceedeth all people of every creed, nationality and ethnicity. Although the bible doesn’ t go into specific detail about her“ motherly ways,” I believe that as all mothers try to be every day, she was a good mother, nurturer and took care of her children the best way that she could and what was deemed appropriate at that time! As God gave her a wonderful opportunity to be a mother, likewise, he has given to all of us that have transitioned into motherhood. Having stated such, I will try to highlight women that I believe are great examples of“ mother love” and hope this article will inspire us to be great mothers, sisters, friends and people as a whole in all areas of our lives. 1. Pastor’ s Wives: Although more often than not, the attention is reflected upon the pastor and all that he does in his faithful service to the Lord and the church community as a whole, not much attention is focused on the“ backbone” of the family and that is his wife.
