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.
