In order for the husband and pastor to be as productive in ministry and is able to accomplish all that he does, he needs the strength, support, love and com- mitment of his wife and the mother of his children. The wife wears many hats and so gracefully maintains the home, manages the children’s affairs, she is the wife, mother, teacher, financial advisor, business woman and great leader, she is a multi-tasker and no one does it better than she! 2. All mothers are the epitome of strength, are great multitaskers, are wise, and are very loving people. It takes an open heart and an overwhelm- ing love and concern for others to be a great mother. You can’t be selfish and a mother because a mother is a very self- less position and that is the way she has been created even from the beginning of time. I am very impressed with all mothers from mothers of established home with both mother and father, to single mothers and even fathers that have had to take on the responsibility as both mother and father to their chil- dren, all are to be recognized and held with honor, admiration and to be given much love and support from all those around them. 3. And, last but “surely not least,” I would be remiss if I didn’t mention my own mother. My mother (Mattie) is an anointed woman of God. She is strong, outspoken, wise, discerning, loving, speaks the truth in love, hardworking, holds family together, has a good heart, a great woman of faith and emotional support to her family and all she con- nects with on a daily basis. I love my mother dearly and have watched over the years how she has continually sacri- ficed so much for the family unit. She is the epitome of a great mother and I am glad that God has graced me with her as a part of my life! I pray the Lord will continue to bless her all the days of her life. Always remember that mothers hold a special place in all of our lives. So many times mothers are overlooked, underappre- ciated and not shown gratitude from other loved ones around them. God has blessed us with wonderful mothers and while we have them in our lives let us cherish them and constantly exemplify our love towards them. There are many people today that have lost their mothers and are not able to tell them how much they love them and wished they were able to do so. The Lord blessed me almost five years ago with the blessed opportunity to be a mother and with it, it has offered many challenges and thus can be very overwhelming at times, but regardless, I am in love with my son (Jaarr) and wouldn’t change anything in terms of me being a mother. I love being a mother and I love raising a beautiful child that is undoubtedly a blessing from the Lord.  Jennifer Workman is an Evangelist, Inspirational Speaker, writer, song writer and founder of Simply Victorious Ministries. www.himpowermagazine.com  17
